Consider the following pairs: 1. Kinnaur: Areca nut 2. Mewat: Mango 3. Coromandel: Soya bean Which of the above pairs is/are correctly matched?

Lists the Indian regions where arecanut is favoured (Assam, Kerala, N. West Bengal, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu), implying it is mainly grown in warm, humid parts of India rather than cold high-altitude areas.

A student could compare Kinnaur's climate/altitude on a map or climate table with the climates of the named arecanut regions to judge plausibility of commercial cultivation there.

Explains that cashew cultivation is restricted to low altitudes (below 700 m, best up to 400 m) because of temperature requirements, illustrating that some nut crops have clear altitude/temperature limits.

Use this pattern (crop-specific altitude/temperature limits) and Kinnaur's elevation data to infer whether a tropical nut like arecanut could be viable there.

Identifies Kinnaur as a district growing temperate nuts (almond), indicating Kinnaur's agricultural profile is temperate rather than tropical.

Combine this with knowledge that arecanut is grown in tropical/warm regions to suspect arecanut is unlikely as a commercial crop in Kinnaur.

Describes Himachal's physiography and names highly productive valleys (Kangra, Kullu, Manali) known for orchards, suggesting agricultural zones vary sharply with topography and some valleys are especially suited to temperate orchards.

Compare Kinnaur's topography/location within Himachal to those valleys and to arecanut-growing regions to assess climatic suitability for arecanut cultivation.

Notes that certain tree products (katha) are grown in Himachal, showing some lower-elevation commercial tree crops occur in the state, so presence of tree crops alone doesn't prove arecanut is or isn't grown.

Use this as a caution: verify Kinnaur's local elevation/temperature ranges before concluding arecanut cannot be grown, rather than assuming all Himachal districts are unsuitable.

Lists the major mango-growing states in India and does not include Haryana among them, implying Haryana is not a leading commercial mango producer.

A student could compare this list with state-level production data or district maps to see if Mewat/Nuh appears among major mango production areas.

Describes the dry agricultural region (including Haryana and Mewat) and lists the main crops there (wheat, rice, sugarcane, maize, pulses, oilseeds, millets, bajra) — fruit crops are not highlighted.

Using basic climate/rainfall maps and district cropping patterns, a student could judge whether conditions and existing crop choices favour large-scale mango cultivation in Mewat.

Explains that areas of Green Revolution success (including Haryana and western UP) focus on monocropping of wheat and rice, reducing cropping diversity.

A student could infer that commercial emphasis on cereals may limit land and investment available for commercial mango orchards in Mewat and check local land‑use statistics to test this.

Defines 'commercial farming' and notes that commercialisation varies by region (gives rice in Haryana as a commercial crop example), indicating regional specialization matters for commercial fruit production.

A student could apply this rule by comparing the degree of commercialisation for mango in Haryana versus known mango states using market/trade or area-under-crop figures.

States India leads the world in mango production and lists mango among important fruits, offering context that mango is nationally important even if production is regionally concentrated.

A student could use national importance as background and then look at state/district-level shares to determine if Mewat contributes significantly or is minor.

Identifies regional cropping patterns and explicitly lists 'Soya bean–wheat' as important in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan (not in coastal Andhra/Tamil Nadu).

A student could combine this with a map to note that these soybean zones are inland (central/western India), so soybean being major on the Coromandel (southeast coast) is less likely.

States that soybean is 'mostly grown in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra', indicating primary soybean production is in central/west India.

Use this to infer that southeastern coastal states (Coromandel) are not the core soybean-producing areas and so soybean is unlikely to be a major crop there.

Lists Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu among states that together account for a large share of national oilseed area/production and names groundnut, rapeseed-mustard and soybean as the main oilseeds nationally.

A student could investigate which oilseed dominates in coastal Andhra/Tamil Nadu (coastal soils/climate commonly favour groundnut), helping to judge whether soybean specifically is major on the Coromandel.

Explains that rice is the staple and a kharif crop requiring high temperature and high humidity—conditions typical of coastal southeastern India.

Use this climatic preference to reason that rice-suitable coastal zones (Coromandel) are more likely rice-dominant than soybean-dominant.
