Question

Match the peeling technique in Column I with the vegetable, for which it is used in industry, given in Column II. 

Column I	Peeling Technique	Column II	Vegetable
P	Knife peeling	1	Brinjal
Q	Abrasion peeling	2	Tomato
R	Flame peeling	3	Potato
S	Flash peeling	4	Cucumber

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

Hint:

Think logically: hard root vegetables → knife, smooth surface → abrasion, thin-skinned → flame, delicate fruits like tomato → flash.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Recall industrial peeling methods.
- Knife peeling: Used for large vegetables like potato where precision cutting is required.
- Abrasion peeling: Uses mechanical rubbing, best for smooth vegetables like cucumber.
- Flame peeling: Direct flame burns off skin, effective for brinjal.
- Flash peeling: Steam/pressure loosens skin, commonly used for tomato.
Step 2: Match accordingly.
- P (Knife peeling) → 3 (Potato)
- Q (Abrasion peeling) → 4 (Cucumber)
- R (Flame peeling) → 1 (Brinjal)
- S (Flash peeling) → 2 (Tomato)
Step 3: Verify with options.
This matches with option (A). Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{(A) P-3, Q-4, R-1, S-2}} \]
