Question

Match List-I with List-II
List-I (Rock): (A) Plutonic rock (B) Sedimentary rock (C) Volcanic rock (D) Metamorphic rock
List-II (Example): (I) Limestone, Dolomite, Shale (II) Basalt, Trachyte, Andesite (III) Gneiss, Schists, Calcite (IV) Diorite, Syenite, Gabbro
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Hint:

Match each rock type (intrusive, extrusive, sedimentary, metamorphic) to its examples.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Plutonic (intrusive) igneous rocks form slowly deep underground and include Diorite, Syenite and Gabbro. Sedimentary rocks, formed from deposited and compacted material, include Limestone, Dolomite and Shale. Volcanic (extrusive) igneous rocks, which cool quickly at the surface, include Basalt, Trachyte and Andesite. Metamorphic rocks, altered by heat and pressure, include Gneiss and Schists.
Matching each rock type to its correct examples gives Plutonic-Diorite/Syenite/Gabbro, Sedimentary-Limestone/Dolomite/Shale, Volcanic-Basalt/Trachyte/Andesite, and Metamorphic-Gneiss/Schists, which corresponds to option 4.
