Question map
Which of the following pairs of revolution in agriculture sector and its production are correctly matched? 1. Pink revolution : Shrimp production 2. Yellow revolution : Oilseeds production 3. Black revolution : Biodiesel production 4. Golden revolution : Egg production
Explanation
The agricultural revolutions in India represent targeted growth in specific sectors. The Pink Revolution is correctly matched with shrimp (prawn) production, as well as onions and meat processing modernization [3]. The Yellow Revolution, launched in the late 1980s, focused on achieving self-sufficiency in oilseeds production. The Black Revolution is associated with increasing crude oil and petroleum production, which includes the acceleration of biodiesel and ethanol production [3]. However, the Golden Revolution is incorrectly matched with egg production; it actually pertains to horticulture, honey, and fruit production [3]. Egg and poultry production are instead associated with the Silver Revolution [3]. Therefore, only pairs 1, 2, and 3 are correctly matched, making option 1 the correct choice.
