Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement: Anthology is the branch of Science that deals with the study of flowers.
Statement II: Pedology is the branch of Science that deals with the study of fruits. In the light of the above statements,
choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
• C. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
• D. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The question provides two statements regarding scientific terms related to branches of study. Let's evaluate each statement to determine their truthfulness:

1. Statement I: "Anthology is the branch of Science that deals with the study of flowers."
   • Explanation: The correct term for the study of flowers is "Anthology." Anthology is indeed the branch of science that deals with understanding the anatomy, reproduction, and classification of flowers.
2. Statement II: "Pedology is the branch of Science that deals with the study of fruits."
   • Explanation: In reality, "Pedology" is the scientific study of soils in their natural environment. The correct branch of science for the study of fruits is "Pomology." Thus, this statement is false.

Based on the above analysis, we can conclude:

• Statement I is true, as Anthology does relate to the study of flowers.
• Statement II is false because Pedology is not concerned with fruits; Pomology is.

The correct answer is: Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
