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.

As you can see that the cinder is itself indicated in the diagram. Cinders are typically steep-sided, symmetrical cones of large dimension built of alternating layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, cinders, blocks, and bombs. So layering is possible in case of cinder and since "cinder" is indicated in the diagram itself then the answer should be a cinder cone volcano.

cinders are shown itself, but sir,,in alternating layers, so, it should be composite?.
![eduncle-logo-app]()
Yes, you are correct. If cinder cone will not be an option then composite volcano would have been correct. You should look at the nearest possible option. Cinder cone is a steep conical hill of loose pyroclastic fragments, such as either volcanic clinkers, volcanic ash, or cinder that has been built around a volcanic vent. The other characteristics of cinder cone is wide crater which can be also seen in the diagram. You can also call it asa composite volcano. Please see the attached figure for the diagram of cinder cone volcano.

This figure is a composite type A cinder cone is a steep conical hill of loose pyroclastic fragments, such as either volcanic clinkers, volcanic ash, or cinder that has been built around a volcanic vent. Composite volcanoes—also called stratovolcanoes—are named for their composition. These volcanoes are built from layers, or strata, of pyroclastic material, including lava, pumice, volcanic ash, and tephra. The layers stack on each other with each eruption. The volcanoes form steep cones, rather than rounded shapes, because the magma is viscous.

Branching pipe is also an important characteristics of composite volcano which is not shown in the diagram. Please look at the attached diagram for exact comparison between cinder cone and composite volcano.
