Match List-I with List-II:

List-IList-II
ParameterInstrument for measurement   
(A) Humidity(I) Anemometer
(B) Wind(II) Lysimeter
(C) Light intensity(III) Hygrometer
(D) Evapotranspiration     (IV) Luxmeter

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is
(A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (II)

To solve the given problem, we need to correctly match the parameters listed in List-I with their corresponding instruments for measurement from List-II. Here are the steps:

  1. Humidity (A): The instrument used to measure humidity is a Hygrometer. Hence, (A) matches with (III).
  2. Wind (B): The instrument used for measuring wind speed and direction is an Anemometer. Therefore, (B) matches with (I).
  3. Light intensity (C): The instrument used to measure light intensity is a Luxmeter. Thus, (C) matches with (IV).
  4. Evapotranspiration (D): The instrument to measure evapotranspiration is a Lysimeter. So, (D) matches with (II).

Based on the above reasoning, the correct option is:

(A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (II)

This option correctly matches each parameter with its corresponding measuring instrument. Understanding these instruments and their purposes can aid in various geographical and environmental studies. Here is the summary of the instruments and their functions:

  • A Hygrometer measures the moisture content or the humidity of air.
  • An Anemometer is used to measure wind speed and direction.
  • A Luxmeter measures the illumination level or intensity of light in a given area.
  • A Lysimeter is used to measure the amount of actual evapotranspiration occurring in a specific area.
