Question

Match the following: \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.3} \begin{table}[h!] \centering \setlength{\tabcolsep}{10pt} \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline S. No & Crop & Variety & Resistance to Disease
\hline I & Wheat (గోధుమ) & Pusa sadabahar (A) & Leaf and stripe rust (W)
II & Brassica (క్రూసిఫెరే) & Pusa komal (B) & White rust (X)
III & Cow Pea (చిక్ పీస్) & Pusa swarnim (C) & Bacterial blight (Y)
IV & Chilli (మిర్చి) & Himagiri (D) & Leaf curl (Z)
\hline \end{tabular} \end{table}

• A. I-D-W, II-C-X, III-B-Y, IV-A-Z
• B. I-D-W, II-C-X, III-A-Y, IV-B-Z
• C. I-C-W, II-D-X, III-B-Z, IV-A-Y
• D. I-A-Y, II-C-X, III-D-W, IV-B-Z
  \

Hint:

Crop varieties are selectively bred to develop disease resistance. Pusa Sadabahar resists rust in wheat, Pusa Komal prevents white rust in Brassica, Pusa Swarnim counters bacterial blight in cowpea, and Himagiri fights leaf curl in chilli.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Understanding the correct matching
- I - Wheat (Pusa Sadabahar) = W (Leaf and Stripe Rust)
- The variety Pusa Sadabahar of wheat is resistant to leaf and stripe rust, a common fungal disease.
- II - Brassica (Pusa Komal) = X (White Rust)
- The variety Pusa Komal of Brassica is resistant to white rust, a fungal disease affecting cruciferous crops.
- III - Cow Pea (Pusa Swarnim) = Y (Bacterial Blight)
- The variety Pusa Swarnim of cowpea is resistant to bacterial blight, a bacterial disease affecting legumes.
- IV - Chilli (Himagiri) = Z (Leaf Curl)
- The variety Himagiri of chilli is resistant to leaf curl, a viral disease causing distortion of leaves.
Examining the given options
- Option 1 (I-D-W, II-C-X, III-B-Y, IV-A-Z) → Correct, as it matches all elements correctly.
- Option 2 (I-D-W, II-C-X, III-A-Y, IV-B-Z) → Incorrect (Mismatch in III and IV).
- Option 3 (I-C-W, II-D-X, III-B-Z, IV-A-Y) → Incorrect (Mismatch in I and III).
- Option 4 (I-A-Y, II-C-X, III-D-W, IV-B-Z) → Incorrect (Mismatch in I and III).
Conclusion
Since the correct matching is I-D-W, II-C-X, III-B-Y, IV-A-Z, the correct answer is Option (1).
