The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each statement one by one and determine whether they are true (T) or false (F). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i)**: "Aphids and leafhoppers are sucking insects whereas locusts and grasshoppers are chewing insects." - **Evaluation**: This statement is true. Aphids and leafhoppers feed by sucking sap from plants, while locusts and grasshoppers use their mandibles to chew plant material. - **Conclusion**: True (T) 2. **Statement (ii)**: "Exotic breed which is very popular for egg laying but is not ideal for meat production is Leghorn." - **Evaluation**: This statement is true. Leghorns are indeed known for their egg-laying capabilities and are not typically raised for meat production. - **Conclusion**: True (T) 3. **Statement (iii)**: "Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association of certain algae with roots of higher plants." - **Evaluation**: This statement is false. Mycorrhiza refers to a symbiotic relationship between fungi and the roots of higher plants, not algae. - **Conclusion**: False (F) 4. **Statement (iv)**: "Fertilisers are nutrient specific." - **Evaluation**: This statement is true. Fertilizers can be formulated to provide specific nutrients (like nitrogen, phosphorus, or potassium) to plants. - **Conclusion**: True (T) 5. **Statement (v)**: "Red Sindhi is indigenous draught breed of cow whereas Holstein-Friesian is exotic milch breed of cow." - **Evaluation**: This statement is false. Red Sindhi is an indigenous breed known for milk production, not primarily as a draught breed. Holstein-Friesian is indeed an exotic breed known for high milk yield. - **Conclusion**: False (F) ### Final Summary of Statements: - (i) True (T) - (ii) True (T) - (iii) False (F) - (iv) True (T) - (v) False (F) ### Final Answer: The correct identification of the statements is: 1. T 2. T 3. F 4. T 5. F
