    A Allium cepa (Onion) p 20
    B Arachis hypogea(Groundnut) q 14
    C Pisum sativum (Pea) r 40
    D Zea mays (Maize) s 16
        t 46
     

    A)  A = p, B = q, C = r, D = s

    B)  A = r, B = s, C = p, D = q

    C)  A = s, B = r, C = q, D = p

    D)  A = s, B = r, C = t, D = q

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :
