Question

Match List-I with List-II.

List-I	List-II
(A) Rain	(I) Diameter of drop less than 0.5 mm and intensity \( < 1 \, \text{mm/h} \)
(B) Glaze	(II) Water droplets in contact with cold water surface (0°C)
(C) Sleet	(III) Diameter of drop 0.5 mm to 6 mm and intensity \( > 1 \, \text{mm/h} \)
(D) Drizzle	(IV) Small pallets of transparent ice having a diameter of 5 mm or less

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)

Hint:

Precipitation types like rain, glaze, sleet, and drizzle are distinguished by the size of the droplets and their formation conditions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Precipitation Types.
- (A) Rain: Rain has drops that are typically larger than 0.5 mm in diameter, and it usually has an intensity greater than 1 mm/h. Therefore, rain corresponds to (III).
- (B) Glaze: Glaze occurs when water droplets freeze upon contact with a cold surface, typically at 0°(C) Hence, glaze corresponds to (II).
- (C) Sleet: Sleet consists of small ice pellets formed when water freezes before it hits the groun(D) These have a diameter between 0.5 mm and 6 mm, with an intensity greater than 1 mm/h. Hence, sleet corresponds to (I).
- (D) Drizzle: Drizzle consists of very small water droplets with a diameter less than 0.5 mm, and they have an intensity of less than 1 mm/h. Hence, drizzle corresponds to (IV).

Step 2: Conclusion.
Thus, the correct matching is: (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV), making option (1) the correct answer.

Final Answer: \[ \boxed{1. \, (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV)} \]
