| Column I | Column II |
|---|---|
| P. Banana pseudostem | 1. Silicon tetrachloride |
| Q. Coconut shell | 2. Protein food |
| R. Meat waste | 3. Starch |
| S. Rice husk | 4. Furfural |
Options:
(A) P-2, Q-3, R-1, S-4
(B) P-3, Q-4, R-2, S-1
(C) P-4, Q-3, R-2, S-1
(D) P-3, Q-1, R-2, S-4
Official Answer Key:
B
Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation
Banana pseudostem is a recognised source of starch ⇒ P-3.
Coconut shell (a pentosan-rich lignocellulosic) yields furfural (and activated carbon) ⇒ Q-4.
Meat waste is processed into protein food/meat meal ⇒ R-2.
Rice husk ash is a high-silica material used to make silicon tetrachloride and silica products ⇒ S-1.
