Q. Consider the following statements:
1.The primary factor that distinguishes Kharif crops from Rabi crops is the duration of crop cycle.
2.Kharif crops usually require 100-110 cm of rainfall.
3.Wheat is a type of kharif crop.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
Answer: A
Notes:
Explanation –
Statements 1 and 3 are incorrect. The primary distinguishing factor between Kharif and Rabi crops is the season in which they are grown, not the duration of their crop cycle. Kharif crops are grown during the monsoon season (June to October), while Rabi crops are grown in the winter season (October to March). Wheat is a Rabi crop. Wheat is typically sown in the winter months and harvested in the spring.
Statement 2 is correct. Kharif crops typically require a good amount of rainfall, ranging from 100-110 cm to support their growth during the monsoon season.
