Question

Match the following. Column-I represents automobile companies and Column-II their brands.

Column-I	Column-II
(A) Hindustan Motors	i. Alto
(B) Fiat	ii. Contessa
(C) Maruti Udyog	iii. Siena
(D) Honda	iv. Accord

Choose the answer from the following choices:

• A. A-i, B-ii, C-iii, D-iv
• B. A-ii, B-iii, C-i, D-iv
• C. A-i, B-ii, C-iv, D-iii
• D. A-iv, B-iii, C-ii, D-i

Hint:

Recall one signature car model for each company: Hindustan Motors, Fiat, Maruti Udyog and Honda.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

This is a simple brand-matching question. We just need to remember one flagship model for each of the four carmakers listed.

1. A-i, B-ii, C-iii, D-iv: This pairs Hindustan Motors with Alto and Fiat with Contessa, which is backwards since Alto is a Maruti car and Contessa is a Hindustan Motors car.
2. A-ii, B-iii, C-i, D-iv: Hindustan Motors goes with Contessa, Fiat with Siena, Maruti Udyog with Alto, and Honda with Accord. Every pair matches a real model to its real maker.
3. A-i, B-ii, C-iv, D-iii: This gives Maruti the Accord and Honda the Siena, which is wrong on both counts.
4. A-iv, B-iii, C-ii, D-i: Only Fiat-Siena is right here, the rest are shuffled incorrectly.

Going company by company: Hindustan Motors made the Contessa for years, Fiat sold the Siena sedan in India, Maruti Udyog's Alto became one of India's best selling small cars, and Honda's Accord has always been its executive sedan.

Let's summarize:

• Hindustan Motors - Contessa, Fiat - Siena, Maruti Udyog - Alto, Honda - Accord.
• Only one option lines up all four pairs correctly.

So the correct combination is A-ii, B-iii, C-i, D-iv.
