Rajasthan PMTRajasthan PMT 2007

Solution:

The principle of competitive exclusion was postulated by Soviet ecologist G.F. Gause. It states that if two species are competiting with one another for the same limited resource, then one of the species will be able to use that resource more efficiently than the other and the former will, therefore, eventually eliminate the latter locally.
