    Angle formed by attached of a branch to the trunk

    • Corona

    • Crown

    • Conn

    • Crotch

    • Puff

    Correct Answer
    A. Crotch
    Explanation
    The term "crotch" refers to the angle formed by the attachment of a branch to the trunk of a tree. This angle is important as it determines the strength and stability of the branch. A narrow crotch angle can indicate a weak attachment, making the branch more prone to breaking or splitting. On the other hand, a wide crotch angle provides a stronger attachment and better support for the branch. Therefore, "crotch" is the correct answer as it specifically describes the angle formed by the attachment of a branch to the trunk.

    Which crop is called micronutrient loving crop

    • Apple

    • Banana

    • Papaya

    • Mango

    • Citrus

    Correct Answer
    A. Banana
    Explanation
    Banana is called a micronutrient loving crop because it requires high levels of micronutrients such as iron, zinc, manganese, and copper for its proper growth and development. These micronutrients are essential for various physiological processes in the banana plant, including enzyme activities, chlorophyll synthesis, and overall plant metabolism. Banana plants have a high demand for these micronutrients, and their deficiency can lead to nutrient disorders and reduced yield. Therefore, farmers growing bananas need to ensure that the soil is adequately supplemented with micronutrients to meet the crop's requirements.

    • Coconut

    • Litchi

    • Betel nut

    • Groundnut

    • All are nuts

    Correct Answer
    A. Litchi
    Explanation
    Litchi is not a nut because it is a fruit. While coconut, betel nut, and groundnut are all considered nuts, litchi is a tropical fruit that grows on trees. It has a sweet and juicy flesh surrounded by a rough, reddish-brown skin. Unlike nuts, litchi does not have a hard shell or a seed encased in a tough outer layer. Therefore, litchi is the correct answer as it is not classified as a nut.
