Question

Match List-I with List-II.

List-I (Harvesting machine)	List-II (Crop)
(A) Digger	(I) Cotton
(B) Reaper	(II) Potato
(C) Picker	(III) Cereal crops
(D) Snapper	(IV) Forage crops
(E) Mower	(V) Maize

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Hint:

Match each named machine to the one crop it is specifically built to harvest.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Go machine by machine and ask what job each one is actually built for.

A digger's whole purpose is to loosen soil and lift underground tubers to the surface, which is exactly what potato harvesting needs. A reaper is a cutting machine meant for standing cereal stalks like wheat, so it belongs with cereal crops. A picker, in the context of cotton harvesting, plucks the fiber straight out of the open boll, tying it to cotton. A snapper physically snaps the whole ear off a standing maize stalk, tying it to maize. A mower simply cuts grasses and legumes close to the ground for hay, tying it to forage crops.

This machine by machine reasoning gives the same pairing as before.

\[\boxed{(A)\text{-}(II),\ (B)\text{-}(III),\ (C)\text{-}(I),\ (D)\text{-}(V),\ (E)\text{-}(IV)}\]
