The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the processes X, Y, and Z based on the definitions provided in the transcript. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify Process X - The question states that "the cutting and gathering of crop after it has matured is called X." - From the transcript, we learn that this process is known as **harvesting**. ### Step 2: Identify Process Y - The next part mentions that "after this, grains are separated from the crop by a process called Y." - According to the transcript, this process is known as **threshing**. ### Step 3: Identify Process Z - The final part states that "Z is the process of separating the hay and chaff from the grains." - The transcript indicates that this process is called **winnowing**. ### Summary of Processes - X = Harvesting - Y = Threshing - Z = Winnowing ### Step 4: Evaluate Statements Now, we need to evaluate the statements given in the question regarding X, Y, and Z: 1. **Statement about Z**: "Z is done with the help of wind in which grain along with the husk is allowed to fall from a height." - This statement is correct as it describes the process of winnowing accurately. 2. **Statement about X**: "X is done mechanically by combine and manually by plow and harrow." - This statement is incorrect because plowing and harrowing are not part of the harvesting process. 3. **Statement about X and Y**: "X is the process known for threshing, whereas Y is known for winnowing." - This statement is also incorrect as it confuses the definitions of X and Y. 4. **Statement about both A and B**: "Both A and B are also said which is not correct at all." - This statement is incorrect because A (the first statement) is correct. ### Conclusion Based on the evaluation, the only correct statement is the first one regarding Z. ### Final Answer - The correct answer is that the first statement about Z is correct.
