Q1. Dry-land farming is done in India in which areas?
A Areas receiving 100 cm to 150 cm annual rainfall
B Areas receiving 35 cm to 75 cm annual rainfall Correct
C Areas receiving 75 cm to 110 cm annual rainfall
D Areas receiving more than 150 cm annual rainfall
Explanation
Dry-land farming in India is associated with low and uncertain rainfall, generally in areas receiving about 35 cm to 75 cm of annual rainfall. Such regions depend heavily on moisture conservation, drought-resistant crops, and careful soil management rather than assured irrigation. Areas with 75 cm to 110 cm rainfall and 100 cm to 150 cm rainfall are comparatively wetter and support more intensive rain-fed or mixed farming. Regions receiving more than 150 cm rainfall are humid, so they do not represent the typical dry-land farming belt.
