Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): Kashi Bhairav is a F1 hybrid of Brinjal.
Statement (II): Shitla Jyoti is a F1 hybrid of watermelon.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

• A. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true.
• B. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are false.
• C. Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false.
• D. Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true.

Hint:

Distinguishing between F1 hybrids and Open Pollinated Varieties (OPVs) requires specific knowledge of crop varieties.
'Kashi Bhairav' (Brinjal) is known as an OPV, not an F1 hybrid.
'Shitla Jyoti' (Watermelon) is also likely an OPV or not widely recognized as an F1 hybrid if the statement is false. Always verify variety information from reliable agricultural sources.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Kashi Bhairav is an open-pollinated brinjal variety from IIVR, not an F1 hybrid, so Statement (I) is false.
Step 2: Shitla Jyoti is likewise an open-pollinated watermelon variety, not an F1 hybrid, so Statement (II) is false.
Step 3: Correct answer: Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are false.
