Q61 / 200 · MHT CET - Medical 2026 (25 April Shift 2) · Biology
Match the instruments given in Column I with the type of growth measured by them given in Column II:
Column I (Instrument) Column II (Type of growth) (A) Horizontal microscope (I) Records primary growth (B) Auxanometer (II) measure growth in crop plants (C) Crescograph (III) linear growth of shoot
Choose the correct answer form the following option
| Column I (Instrument) | Column II (Type of growth) |
|---|---|
| (A) Horizontal microscope | (I) Records primary growth |
| (B) Auxanometer | (II) measure growth in crop plants |
| (C) Crescograph | (III) linear growth of shoot |
- Correct answerAA-II, B-III, C-I
- BA-III, B-II, C-I
- CA-II, B-I, C-III
- DA-I, B-III, C-II
Solution
Based on the instruments used for measuring plant growth:
A horizontal microscope is utilized to measure the growth in crop plants directly in the field.
An auxanometer is a mechanical instrument primarily used to measure the linear growth of a plant shoot.
A crescograph, invented by J.C. Bose, is a highly sensitive instrument that records primary growth by magnifying it thousands of times.
Therefore, the correct matching is (A) $\rightarrow$ (II), (B) $\rightarrow$ (III), and (C) $\rightarrow$ (I).
Answer: A-II, B-III, C-I
