A
stimulating desired variety of fishes with mild electric currents

B
stimulating desired variety of fishes with hormones

C
breeding desired variety of fishes in monsoons

D
breeding desired variety of fishes in winters

Question 4

1 / -0

Use the following information to answer the next question.

Scientists at a research institute developed some varieties of seeds with the given characteristics.

Seed variety I- high yield, salinity resistant, dwarf plant

Seed variety II- low yield, drought resistant, tall plant

Seed variety III- high yield, drought resistant, dwarf plant

Seedvariety IV- low yield, salinity resistant, tall plant

Which of the following seeds variety would be suggested to the farmer living in an area receiving very minimal rainfall?

I

II

III

IV

Solution

The farmer lives in an area which receives very minimal rainfall. Therefore, any crop he grows should be able to cope up with the drought conditions. Hence, he should choose a seed, which gives a high yield and is drought resistant. A dwarf plant is a better choice over a tall plant since small plants utilise fewer nutrients.

The correct answer is C.

Why alternative A is wrong:

Though seedvariety I is high yielding, it is not able to cope up with the drought conditions. Thus, it would not be a good choice.

Why alternative B is wrong:

Seedvariety II is drought resistant but gives a low yield. Hence, it is a poor choice.

Why alternative D is wrong:

Seed variety IV is salinity resistant, not drought resistant. Moreover, it has low yield. Hence, it is not a good choice.

Question 5

1 / -0

Use the following information to answer the next question.

A farmer wants to practice intercropping to increase the yield of his crop. He wants to grow leguminous crops along with non-leguminous crops so that he could reduce the use of chemical fertilisers.

Which of the following patterns will be the most beneficial for the farmer to achieve his motive?

Bajra + Maize

Rice + Wheat

Soyabean + Bajra

Soyabean + Cowpea

Solution

The farmer can sow soyabean and bajra during intercropping since soyabean is a leguminous plant and bajra is a non-leguminous crop. Soyabean plants will enrich the soil with the nitrogen that is utilised by bajra.

Hence,the correct answer is option C.
