Question

Match the formations in Group I with corresponding stratigraphic periods in Group II.

Group I		Group II
P	Syringothyris Limestone	1	Permian
Q	Karai Shale	2	Jurassic
R	Chari	3	Carboniferous
S	Barren Measures	4	Cretaceous

• A. P-1, Q-2, R-3, S-4
• B. P-2, Q-4, R-1, S-3
• C. P-3, Q-4, R-2, S-1
• D. P-4, Q-1, R-2, S-3

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To match the formations in Group I with the corresponding stratigraphic periods in Group II, we need a basic understanding of the geological formations and their respective time periods:

1. Syringothyris Limestone: This formation is associated with the Carboniferous Period. The correct pair here is P-3.
2. Karai Shale: Known to be part of the Cretaceous system. Thus, the correct pairing is Q-4.
3. Chari: This formation is linked to the Jurassic period, matching it with R-2.
4. Barren Measures: These are part of the Permian period, corresponding to S-1.

Therefore, the correct matching is:

• P-3: Syringothyris Limestone - Carboniferous
• Q-4: Karai Shale - Cretaceous
• R-2: Chari - Jurassic
• S-1: Barren Measures - Permian

The correct answer aligns with the given option:

P-3, Q-4, R-2, S-1
