Reading comprehension on vadu mangai: from where do the more popular vadu mangai mangoes come?

Introduction / Context:
This question focuses on a factual detail from the reading passage about vadu mangai mangoes. The passage describes two distinct varieties from different locations and explicitly names which one is more popular. Such questions check your ability to pick out specific information accurately rather than rely on memory of general ideas only.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• The passage mentions two distinct varieties of vadu mangai available near Coimbatore.
• One variety, which is closest to Coimbatore and appears first in markets, is the Thadagam variety.
• The second variety is described as "the more popular variety" and is from the Thirumoorthy Hills near Udumalpet.
• The question asks about the source of the "more popular vadu mangai mangoes".
• Other place names in the passage include Coimbatore and Ram Nagar, which have different roles.

Concept / Approach:
In detail based comprehension questions, you should carefully reread the lines that talk about popularity, frequency, or any superlatives. The phrase "the second and more popular variety" is the key. Then you must connect that description with its associated location. It is important not to confuse the location of markets (such as Ram Nagar) with the location where the mangoes are grown (like Thirumoorthy Hills).

Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Find the sentence that uses the words "second" and "more popular variety". Step 2: Read that sentence fully: it tells you that the second and more popular variety is from the Thirumoorthy Hills, near Udumalpet. Step 3: Identify the exact location mentioned as the origin of this more popular variety: "Thirumoorthy Hills". Step 4: Compare this with the options. One option is Udumalpet, another is Thirumoorthy Hills. The passage clearly states that the variety is from the Thirumoorthy Hills, which are near Udumalpet. Step 5: Choose the option that exactly matches the location named as the source of the more popular variety, which is Thirumoorthy Hills.

Verification / Alternative check:
Check each option against the passage. Coimbatore is mentioned as the main city near which the two varieties are available, but not as the specific source of the more popular variety. Ram Nagar is described as the street corner where small vendors sell the mangoes, not as the place where they grow. Udumalpet is a nearby town mentioned only to locate the Thirumoorthy Hills. Therefore, Thirumoorthy Hills is the precise answer to the question about origin.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Option A: Udumalpet is only used as a reference point ("near Udumalpet") and is not itself stated as the place where the more popular mangoes grow. Option B: Coimbatore is the central city around which the varieties are available but not the specific origin of the more popular variety. Option D: Ram Nagar is the street corner marketplace in Coimbatore where vendors sell the mangoes; it is not the agricultural source.

Common Pitfalls:
Candidates sometimes pick a place name that they remember more easily, such as Coimbatore or Ram Nagar, instead of checking the exact line in the passage. Another pitfall is ignoring the difference between "near" and "from": the passage says "from the Thirumoorthy Hills, near Udumalpet", so writing Udumalpet as the answer would be imprecise. Always answer with the most accurate term the passage provides.

Final Answer:
The more popular vadu mangai mangoes are from Thirumoorthy Hills, so option C is correct.
