Question

Match List-I with List-II.

List-I	List-II
(A) Rain	(I) Diameter of drop less than 0.5 mm and intensity \( < 1 \, \text{mm/h} \)
(B) Glaze	(II) Water droplets in contact with cold water surface (0°C)
(C) Sleet	(III) Diameter of drop 0.5 mm to 6 mm and intensity \( > 1 \, \text{mm/h} \)
(D) Drizzle	(IV) Small pallets of transparent ice having a diameter of 5 mm or less

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)

Hint:

Precipitation types like rain, glaze, sleet, and drizzle are distinguished by the size of the droplets and their formation conditions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Precipitation Type Definitions.
- (A) Rain: Rain features drops exceeding 0.5 mm in diameter, typically exceeding an intensity of 1 mm/h. This matches (III).
- (B) Glaze: Glaze forms when water droplets freeze on cold surfaces, usually at 0°(C). Therefore, glaze is (II).
- (C) Sleet: Sleet comprises small ice pellets, 0.5 mm to 6 mm in diameter, with an intensity above 1 mm/h. This corresponds to (I).
- (D) Drizzle: Drizzle consists of very small water droplets, less than 0.5 mm in diameter, and an intensity below 1 mm/h. Thus, drizzle is (IV).

Step 2: Conclusion.
The correct pairing is: (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV), making option (1) correct.

Final Answer:
\[ \boxed{1. \, (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV)} \]
