Q. Which of the following pairs are correctly matched regarding atmospheric layers?

1. Troposphere - Clouds, rain
2. Stratosphere - Ozone layer
3. Mesosphere - Temperature increases with altitude

Select the correct answer from the codes given below:
Answer: Only 1 & 2
Notes: Troposphere contains clouds and experiences all weather phenomena like rain. Stratosphere contains the ozone layer in its central portion. In the mesosphere, temperature decreases with altitude, not increases. Thus, only statements 1 and 2 are correctly matched, while statement 3 is incorrect regarding mesosphere's temperature trend.
