even option one is right .

Question:

DIRECTIONS: Study the following table carefully and answer the questions that follow:

-	Area under cultivation in (thousand hectares)			Production in (thousand tonnes)
Year → Crop ↓	2010	2011	2012	2010	2011	2012
Sugarcane	420	390	440	8450	7930	9240
Cotton	180	189	204	15	21	24
Jute	25	27	21	35	40	28
Tea	40	36	42	48	42	60
Coffee	36	39	44	50	45	56
Maize	48	52	56	60	66	72
Wheat	364	392	415	484	510	548
Rice	560	532	548	732	796	868
Millets	85	91	78	34	39	32
Groundnut	70	66	69	102	105	115

Yields is defined as the quantity produced per hectare.

Which of the following statements is true?

Options:

A) Production is increasing continuously over the years for only four crops.

B) Area under cultivation in 2012 is less than the same in 2011.

C) Yields of tea in 2010 is less than that of jute in the same year.

D) Average production of sugarcane for three years is 8430 tonnes.

E) None of these

Solution:

Production is increasing continuously over the years for five crops, namely cotton, maize, wheat, rice and groundnut.

∴ Option (1) is false.

It is obvious from the table that the area under cultivation in 2012 is more than the same in 2011.

∴ Option (2) is false.

Yield of Jute in 2010 = \(\cfrac{35}{25}\) = 1.4 thousand tons/hectare

Yield of tea in 2010 = \(\cfrac{48}{40}\)= 1.2 thousand tons/hectare

∴ Yield of tea is less than that of jute in 2010.

∴ Option (3) is true.
