Question

Arrange the following crops on the basis of their yield in the ascending order:
(A) Arhar (Pigeon pea)
(B) Gram (Chickpea)
(C) Rice
(D) Urd (Black gram)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A), (B), (D), (C)
• B. (B), (A), (D), (C)
• C. (D), (B), (A), (C)
• D. (D), (A), (B), (C)

Hint:

Remember that rice is a high-yielding cereal crop, while pulses like urd, gram, and arhar generally have lower yields.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Crop yields can vary depending on several factors, including environmental conditions, management practices, and varietal differences. However, in general terms, the ascending order of yield potential for these crops in India is Urd (Black gram) < Gram (Chickpea) < Arhar (Pigeon pea) < Rice. Rice, being a staple crop with intensive cultivation practices, generally has significantly higher yields compared to the pulse crops listed.
