Consider the following statements:
1. Anabaena lives symbiotically with Azolla
2. Azotobacter is a free - living organism in the soil.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

  1. 1 only

  2. 2 only

  3. Both 1 and 2

  4. Neither 1 nor 2


Correct Option: A

Least porous soil is

  1. Silt soil

  2. Peat soil

  3. Clay soil

  4. Loam soil


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Soil can be classified on the basis of the size of the particle and its water holding capacity into clay soil, sand soil and loam soil, silt soil. Clay soil has the finest particles of all the soils. Hence, it is the least porous soil. Sand soil has the largest size of particles. They are the most porous soil.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Clay soil.' 

It rc and rs respectively represents cuticular and stomatal resistances, the total resistance (R) could be expressed as.

  1. $R=rc+rs$

  2. $R=r-rs$

  3. $\displaystyle\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{rc}+\frac{1}{rs}$

  4. $\displaystyle\frac{r}{R}=\frac{1}{rc}-\frac{1}{rc}$


Correct Option: A
