Q1. Given below are two statements: Statement I: Gram is grown as a Rabi crop in Rajasthan. Statement II: Oilseeds are grown in both Rabi and Kharif seasons in Rajasthan. In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Explanation
Gram is a major Rabi pulse crop in Rajasthan, grown after the monsoon in the winter cropping season, so the first statement is correct. Oilseeds are not confined to one season in the state: mustard and rapeseed are important Rabi oilseeds, while groundnut, sesame and soybean are grown in the Kharif season in suitable regions. Therefore the statement calling both statements incorrect is wrong, and the split choices that reject either the gram statement or the oilseed-season statement do not fit Rajasthan's cropping pattern.
