The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Productivity is calculated as:
\[
\text{Productivity} = \frac{\text{Production}}{\text{Area under Rice Cultivation}}
\]
Punjab: \( \text{Area under rice} = 5 \times 0.8 = 4 \) million hectares, productivity \( = 24 / 4 = 6 \) tons/hectare.
Andhra Pradesh: \( \text{Area under rice} = 28 \times 0.8 = 22.4 \) million hectares, productivity \( = 112 / 22.4 = 5 \) tons/hectare.
These two states have the highest values compared to others.
Andhra Pradesh: \( \text{Area under rice} = 28 \times 0.8 = 22.4 \) million hectares, productivity \( = 112 / 22.4 = 5 \) tons/hectare.
These two states have the highest values compared to others.

The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Gujarat: \( 24 / 51 \approx 0.47 \) tons per person.
Comparisons show Himachal Pradesh (\(0.20\)), Kerala (\(0.15\)), Rajasthan (\(0.12\)) are lower. Punjab (\(1.0\)), Andhra Pradesh (\(1.47\)), Haryana (\(0.91\)), Tamil Nadu (\(0.44\)), Maharashtra (\(0.49\)), West Bengal (\(0.27\)), Karnataka (\(0.36\)) — Only Punjab, Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh (\(0.40\)) are greater than 0.47. Hence, 5 states.
