Question

Statement (I): The capacitance method measures soil moisture content by analyzing changes in electrical capacitance.
Statement (II): The finger-licking method estimates soil moisture content based on tactile sensations.

• A. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true.
• B. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are false.
• C. Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false.
• D. Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true.

Hint:

Capacitance = accurate electronic method; Finger-feel = traditional, subjective method.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Capacitance sensors detect soil moisture through changes in dielectric properties caused by water content, so Statement (I) is correct.
Step 2: The finger-feel method judges moisture by touch and texture in the field, so Statement (II) is also correct.
Step 3: Neither statement contains a factual error.
Step 4: Correct option, both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true.
