Subtopic: Processing of seeds, spices, fruits and vegetables
Question Statement:
Match the grain processing operations in Column I with the corresponding machine components in Column II:
| Column I | Column II |
|---|---|
| (P) Wheat milling | (1) Rubber rolls |
| (Q) Paddy dehusking | (2) Abrasive emery roll cylinder |
| (R) Pulse dehusking | (3) Break and reduction rolls |
| (S) Spice grinding | (4) Hammer mills |
Options:
(A) P-2,Q-1,R-3,S-4
(B) P-1,Q-2,R-4,S-3
(C) P-3,Q-1,R-2,S-4
(D) P-1,Q-3,R-4,S-2
Official Answer Key:
C
Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation
Wheat milling into flour uses break and reduction rolls (3); paddy (rice) dehusking uses rubber-roll shellers (1); pulse dehusking uses an abrasive emery-roll cylinder (2) to scour the seed coat; spice grinding into powder is typically done with hammer mills (4). This gives P-3, Q-1, R-2, S-4 → option (C) — a processing-equipment recognition item.
