Question

Match the following potteries in List-I with their required temperature in List-II. \[ \begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline \textbf{LIST I} & \textbf{LIST II} \\ \hline A. \ \text{Terracotta} & I. \ 1180-1300^\circ C \\ B. \ \text{Earthenware} & II. \ 1220-1400^\circ C \\ C. \ \text{Stoneware} & III. \ 600-800^\circ C \\ D. \ \text{Porcelain} & IV. \ 1040-1150^\circ C \\ \hline \end{array} \]

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

Hint:

Pottery types have different firing temperature ranges, with earthenware and porcelain requiring higher temperatures than terracotta and stoneware.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Pottery Firing Temperature Requirements.
- Terracotta: Low firing range, 600-800°C (Option III).
- Earthenware: High firing range, 1220-1400°C (Option II).
- Stoneware: Mid-range firing, 1040-1150°C (Option IV).
- Porcelain: High firing range, 1180-1300°C (Option I).
Step 2: Final Matching.
Therefore, the correct pairings are (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), and (D) - (IV).
