4 answers · same numbers278.(A) Bet
In Punjab the low-lying khadar floodplains along the rivers, renewed by fresh silt each monsoon, are called Bet (bet lands). The older, higher bhangar terraces are the Dhaya, the sandy south-western tract is the Rohi, and Pat is the name of the older-alluvium region near the Rajasthan border.
279.(A) Ghaggar and Yamuna
The Bangar is the higher plain of old alluvium that stays above the reach of floods; the tract so named lies between the Ghaggar and the Yamuna, largely in present-day Haryana. The low strip of new alluvium beside a river is the Khadar or Bet. Punjab's other regional names: Majha (Ravi–Beas), Doaba (Beas–Sutlej), Malwa (south of the Sutlej) and Puadh (Sutlej–Ghaggar).
280.(B) A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
Punjab has five agro-climatic zones. Two anchors settle the match. The sub-mountain undulating zone is the Shivalik foothill belt of Hoshiarpur, Gurdaspur and Ropar. The central plain zone covers the fertile Jalandhar-Ludhiana-Patiala tract. That gives A-II and B-I. The remaining pair puts Ferozepur in the western plain zone and Moga in the western zone.
281.(B) Green Revolution
The Green Revolution of the mid-1960s made Punjab the 'food basket' or granary of India. It gave high-yielding wheat and rice varieties, assured canal and tube-well irrigation, chemical fertilisers and the minimum support price system. M.S. Swaminathan and Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana played key roles. Pink Revolution refers to meat and prawn production, Red Revolution to meat and tomatoes.

Which papers asked Soils, Climate & Agriculture
