Match the following instruments (in Column I) with corresponding measurements (in Column II).
| Column I | Column II |
|---|---|
| P Current meter | 1 Solar radiation |
| Q Anemometer | 2 Rainfall |
| R Hygrometer | 3 Stream flow velocity |
| S Symon's gauge | 4 Humidity |
| T Pyranometer | 5 Wind speed |
Answer: A
The correct match is P-3, Q-5, R-4, S-2, T-1.
- A current meter measures stream flow velocity by the rotation of its cups or propeller in the water.
- An anemometer measures wind speed.
- A hygrometer measures humidity.
- Symon's gauge is the standard non-recording rain gauge.
- A pyranometer measures global solar radiation.
Each of the other options assigns at least four instruments to the wrong quantity, for example pairing the current meter with rainfall or the anemometer with stream flow.
