Question

• A. Paddy
• B. Maize
• C. Wheat
• D. Gram

Hint:

Cereals = Grains like wheat, rice, maize. Pulses = Legumes like gram, pea, arhar. Don't confuse the two categories.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Question
The question asks to identify a crop that meets two conditions: it must be a 'Rabi' crop (sown in winter) and it must be a 'cereal' (a grain-producing grass).
Step 2: Detailed Explanation
Let's evaluate each option against the two conditions:

(A) Paddy (Rice): This is a cereal, but it is a Kharif crop, not a Rabi crop.

(B) Maize: This is a cereal, but it is primarily a Kharif crop.

(C) Wheat: This is a Rabi crop and it is a major cereal. It fits both conditions.

(D) Gram (Chickpea): This is a Rabi crop, but it is a pulse (legume), not a cereal.

Step 3: Final Answer
Wheat is the only option that is correctly identified as a Rabi cereal crop.
