Correct Answer :
A–II, B–III, C–IV, D–I
Solution :
We are asked to match each type of material in List‑I with the appropriate range of magnetic susceptibility given in List‑II.
First, recall the typical susceptibility behavior of the four categories:
• Diamagnetic substances have a small negative susceptibility; they are weakly repelled by a magnetic field. In the table this is represented by the interval “0 > χ ≥ −1”.
• Ferromagnetic substances show a very large positive susceptibility, often many orders of magnitude larger than 1. This corresponds to “χ ≫ 1”.
• Paramagnetic substances have a small positive susceptibility, but it is still much less than 1. The table describes this as “0 < χ < εₑ” where εₑ is a small positive number.
• Non‑magnetic (or essentially magnetically neutral) materials have essentially no response to a magnetic field, i.e., their susceptibility is zero: “χ = 0”.
Now we match each material with the matching description from List‑II:
1. A. Diamagnetic → matches condition II (0 > χ ≥ −1).
Hence A–II.
2. B. Ferromagnetic → matches condition III (χ ≫ 1).
Hence B–III.
3. C. Paramagnetic → matches condition IV (0 < χ < εₑ).
Hence C–IV.
4. D. Non‑Magnetic → matches condition I (χ = 0).
Hence D–I.
Putting the four matches together gives the final answer:
A–II, B–III, C–IV, D–I
