Choose the correctly matched pair from the following :
Show Hint
Groundnut $\rightarrow$ Gujarat
Rice $\rightarrow$ West Bengal
Wheat $\rightarrow$ Uttar Pradesh
Cotton $\rightarrow$ Gujarat/Maharashtra
- Wheat -- Madhya Pradesh
- Rice -- Punjab
- Groundnut -- Gujarat
- Cotton -- Haryana
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
• Agricultural production in India varies by region based on soil types, climate, and irrigation facilities.
• Specific states lead in the total volume of production for major cash and food crops.
Step 1: Analyze the leading producer of Groundnut
Groundnut is an important oilseed crop grown largely in rainfed conditions of dry lands.
Gujarat is the leading producer of groundnut in India, accounting for the highest share of national production.
Therefore, pair (C) Groundnut -- Gujarat is correctly matched.
Step 2: Analyze the other options for corrections
For Wheat: Uttar Pradesh is the leading producing state in terms of total production, not Madhya Pradesh.
For Rice: West Bengal is the leading producer state, whereas Punjab is famous for high productivity/yield per hectare due to intensive irrigation.
For Cotton: Gujarat and Maharashtra are the leading producers in India due to black cotton soil (Regur), not Haryana.

Hunting and Food Gathering
The earliest human beings depended on their immediate environment for their sustenance. They subsisted on: (a) animals which they hunted; and (b) the edible plants which they gathered from forests in the vicinity. Primitive societies depended on wild animals. People located in very cold and extremely hot climates survived on hunting. The people in the coastal areas still catch fish though fishing has experienced modernisation due to technological development. Many species, now have become extinct or endangered due to illegal hunting (poaching). The early hunters used primitive tools made of stones, twigs or arrows so the number of animals killed was limited. Gathering and hunting are the oldest economic activity known. These are carried out at different levels with different orientations. Gathering is practised in regions with harsh climatic conditions. It often involves primitive societies, who extract both plants and animals to satisfy their needs for food, shelter and clothing. This type of activity requires a small amount of capital investment and operates at very low levels of technology. The yield per person is very low and little or no surplus is produced.- Examine the role of climate, water availability, and soil fertility on the distribution of world population.
