Discussion
Correctly match the following plant species in Group-I with their main economically important products in Group-II.
| Group-I | Group-II |
|---|---|
| (P) Gossypium arboreum | (1) Rubber |
| (Q) Dalbergia sissoo | (2) Spices |
| (R) Hevea brasiliensis | (3) Fibre |
| (S) Pelargonium graveolens | (4) Timber |
| (5) Essential oil |
Answer: A
The correct matching is P-3; Q-4; R-1; S-5.
- Gossypium arboreum, tree cotton, yields seed-hair fibre (3).
- Dalbergia sissoo, shisham or Indian rosewood, is valued for its hard, durable timber (4).
- Hevea brasiliensis, the Para rubber tree, yields natural rubber from its latex (1).
- Pelargonium graveolens, rose-scented geranium, is distilled for geranium essential oil (5).
Spices (2) belong to none of them. The options that give the geranium spices, call cotton a spice crop, or make shisham the rubber source misassign these plants.
