Question

Match List-I with List-II
List-I (Animal as Power Source): (A) Bullock (B) Buffaloes (C) Camels (D) Donkeys
List-II (Most preferred work rest cycles for Draught Animals): (I) 1h Work + 1h Rest + 1h Work + 1h Rest so on up to total 6h Work per day. (II) 2h work + 1h Rest + 2h Work + 1h Rest + 2h Work. (III) 4h Work in Morning + 7h Rest + 4h work in evening. (IV) 3h Work + 1h Rest + 3h Work + 2h Rest + 3h Work.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A), (I), (B), (II), (C), (III), (D), (IV)
• B. (A), (II), (B), (III), (C), (IV), (D), (I)
• C. (A), (III), (B), (IV), (C), (I), (D), (II)
• D. (A), (IV), (B), (III), (C), (II), (D), (I)

Hint:

Match each draught animal to a work-rest pattern suited to its stamina and heat tolerance.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Bullocks are moderately built animals that need frequent short breaks, so they work best on a 2-hours-work, 1-hour-rest cycle repeated through the day (II). Buffaloes are heat-sensitive because of their dark skin and limited sweating ability, so they do best with a long midday break: 4 hours of work in the cool morning, 7 hours of rest through the heat of the afternoon, then 4 more hours in the evening (III).
Camels, being adapted to harsh environments, can sustain longer stretches of 3 hours' work with shorter rests in between (IV), while donkeys work in short 1-hour bursts adding up to about 6 hours, with matching 1-hour rests (I).
Matching Bullock-II, Buffalo-III, Camel-IV, Donkey-I gives option 2.
