For anyone who has grown up in Kerala, this is a familiar sight. The Malayali’s relationship with banana chips is unquestionable, not even potato in its fancy versions has been able to replace it.

    A The company, which launched its banana chips in 2020, now has a manufacturing unit in Kalamassery, Kochi, and is a prominent presence on e-retail platforms delivering across the country.

    E The nendran variety of bananas works the best for chips, say the brands, as cavendish varieties may be lacking in flavour. Most companies now have automated machinery that makes the chips. Even the frying time is controlled. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The first paragraph talks about ‘banana chips’ and the process of its making. The third paragraph talks about ‘this familiar sight’, which mean that in the second paragraph also, the process of making banana chips must have been mentioned. So, option 4 is apt here. Option 1- there is no ‘company’ mentioned in the first or third paragraph. Option 2- this cannot be a ‘familiar sight’. Option 3- ‘the team’ is not mentioned in either of the paragraphs. Option 5- this is also not a ‘familiar sight’.
