CUET PG 2026 Agri-Business Management Question Paper (25-Mar-2026) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I

The question requires matching the abbreviations of common saturated fatty acids (List-I) with their respective common names (List-II).

Understanding Fatty Acid Notation

The notation used, such as $10:0$, follows the format $X:Y$, where:

  • $X$ represents the total number of carbon atoms in the fatty acid chain.
  • $Y$ represents the number of double bonds in the fatty acid chain.

In this case, all fatty acids listed have $Y=0$, indicating they are saturated fatty acids (containing no carbon-carbon double bonds).

Matching Fatty Acids

We match each abbreviation in List-I to its corresponding common name in List-II:

  • A. $10:0$: This is a saturated fatty acid with 10 carbon atoms. Its common name is Capric acid (IV).
  • B. $12:0$: This is a saturated fatty acid with 12 carbon atoms. Its common name is Lauric acid (III).
  • C. $14:0$: This is a saturated fatty acid with 14 carbon atoms. Its common name is Myristic acid (II).
  • D. $16:0$: This is a saturated fatty acid with 16 carbon atoms. Its common name is Palmitic acid (I).

Correct Matching

Based on the matching above, the correct combination is:

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