Question

Match List-I with List-II.\[\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \text{List-I (Crop)} & \text{List-II (Variety)} \\ \hline \text{(A) Wheat} & \text{(I) Virat} \\ \hline \text{(B) Paddy} & \text{(II) CO-86032} \\ \hline \text{(C) Sugarcane} & \text{(III) IR-8} \\ \hline \text{(D) Gram} & \text{(IV) HD-2496} \\ \hline \end{array}\]Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Hint:

Remember crop-variety pairs: Wheat–HD 2496, Paddy–IR 8, Sugarcane–CO 86032, Gram–Virat.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Phase 1: Establish crop-variety links.
- Wheat: HD-2496 (IV): This is a high-yield wheat cultivar. - Paddy: IR-8 (III): Renowned high-yield rice cultivar, often called "miracle rice." - Sugarcane: CO-86032 (II): A widely recognized sugarcane cultivar in India. - Gram: Virat (I): A specific chickpea cultivar.

Phase 2: Final determination.
Accordingly, the accurate pairing is: \[(A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)\]

Concluding Answer: \[\boxed{\text{The correct selection is Option 1.}}\]
