Time management is very much important in IIT JAM. The eduncle test series for IIT JAM Mathematical Statistics helped me a lot in this portion. I am very thankful to the test series I bought from eduncle.

This question is related to 'Harker diagram' and for more detail you can go through J.D. Winter chapter 8. Here, the illustrated geochemical trends suggests that increasing crystallization of minerals the MgO and CaO content of magma decrease, while the Al2O3 increases. So that means minerals crystallizing have MgO and CaO in their composition but no more alumina. Terms meaning__cogenetic(same genetic condition) and coeval (same age and origin). Thus, for olivine (ex__ fosterite: Mg2SiO4 and monticellite: CaMgSiO4) and cpx(diopside: CaMgSi2O6) have magnesium and calcium in their composition. So they must crystallize from the melt. And for plagioclase and alkali feldspar has alumina in its composition, hence as the alumina content rises in their residual melt with crystallization...so, neither plagioclase nor alkali feldspar crystallization from the melt is possible. So, correct option should be A,B.
