Match List I (Name of the Crop) with List II (Name of the High Yielding Variety) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the Lists

Name of the Crop | Name of the high yielding variety
I. Maize | (A) Arjun
II. Paddy | (B) Jaya
III. Wheat | (C) Ranjit

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 (I-C, II-B, III-A) based on the established classifications of high-yielding varieties (HYVs) introduced during the Green Revolution in India.

  • Maize – Ranjit (I-C): Ranjit is a prominent high-yielding hybrid variety of maize. It was developed to ensure better stability and productivity in diverse agro-climatic conditions.
  • Paddy – Jaya (II-B): Jaya is a landmark variety in Indian agriculture. Developed by Dr. Shastry, it was the first indigenous high-yielding variety of rice that outperformed the international variety IR-8, earning it the title "Miracle Rice."
  • Wheat – Arjun (III-A): Arjun (HD-2009) is a widely recognized high-yielding variety of wheat. It was specifically bred for resistance to diseases like rust and for its high responsiveness to fertilizers.

Options 1, 3, and 4 are incorrect because they mismatch these specific botanical pairings, which are fundamental facts in Indian agricultural geography and the history of the Green Revolution.
