AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.
Pulses are valued in a vegetarian diet as they are rich in protein. Being leguminous crops, most pulses fix atmospheric nitrogen in the soil, thereby increasing soil fertility.
The question combines two parts: nutritional value and soil property. Pulses are leguminous crops (as confirmed by the MCQ in the passage), and legumes are known for nitrogen fixation — a standard fact expected in this chapter. Keep both points in one line for full credit.
