Question

Match List-I with List-II
\[\begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline \textbf{List-I} & \textbf{List-II} \\ \textbf{Constituents} & \textbf{Crops} \\ \hline \text{(A). Beta Carotene} & \text{(I). Fig} \\ \hline \text{(B). Ascorbic Acid} & \text{(II). Mango} \\ \hline \text{(C). Riboflavin} & \text{(III). Bael} \\ \hline \text{(D). Niacin} & \text{(IV). Barbados Cherry} \\ \hline \end{array}\]
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Hint:

For nutrition-based questions, remember the "champion" sources: Aonla and Barbados Cherry for Vitamin C, Mango and Papaya for Vitamin A (Beta Carotene), Bael for Riboflavin, and Avocado and nuts for fats.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This question requires matching specific nutrients/constituents with the crops that are exceptionally rich sources of them.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Let's match the constituent to its rich source:
\[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{(A) Beta Carotene: This is a precursor to Vitamin A. (II) Mango is famously one of the richest fruit sources of beta carotene, which gives its flesh the characteristic orange-yellow color. } \\ \bullet & \text{(B) Ascorbic Acid: This is Vitamin C. (IV) Barbados Cherry (*Malpighia emarginata*) is one of the richest known natural sources of Vitamin C in the world. } \\ \bullet & \text{(C) Riboflavin: This is Vitamin B2. (III) Bael (*Aegle marmelos*) fruit pulp is an exceptionally rich source of riboflavin. } \\ \bullet & \text{(D) Niacin: This is Vitamin B3. Among the given options, (I) Fig is a good source of niacin. } \\ \end{array}\] The correct matching is: A \(\rightarrow\) II, B \(\rightarrow\) IV, C \(\rightarrow\) III, D \(\rightarrow\) I.

Step 3: Final Answer:
The correct set of matches corresponds to option 2.
