Question: 1
Which two states account for the highest productivity of rice (tons produced per hectare of rice cultivation)?
Which two states account for the highest productivity of rice (tons produced per hectare of rice cultivation)?
Show Hint
When finding productivity, always first compute actual cultivated area before dividing production.

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.

Question: 2
How many states have a per capita production of rice (defined as total rice production divided by its population) greater than Gujarat?
How many states have a per capita production of rice (defined as total rice production divided by its population) greater than Gujarat?
Show Hint
Per capita comparisons require dividing production by total population for each state.

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.

Question: 3
An intensive rice producing state is defined as one whose annual rice production per million of population is at least 400,000 tons. How many states are intensive rice producing states?
An intensive rice producing state is defined as one whose annual rice production per million of population is at least 400,000 tons. How many states are intensive rice producing states?
Show Hint
Always translate “per million” into tons/person by dividing required figure by $10^6$ for comparison.
