Statement 1 is correct: the corpus identifies wheat as a rabi crop sown in October-November and harvested in March-April.

Statement 3 is correct: bajra is identified as the most widely cultivated kharif foodgrain crop by area sown in Rajasthan. Statement 4 is correct: the Rajasthan State Seeds Corporation lists Groundnut under kharif crops.
Q2Which crop has the largest area under cultivation in Rajasthan?

Statements 1, 2 and 3 are correct: identifies Sri Ganganagar with sugarcane, Chittorgarh with legal opium cultivation, and Nohar-Bhadra with Kinnow.

Statement 3 is incorrect: the cited fact says bajra, jowar and groundnut are kharif crops sown with the onset of monsoon; mustard is rabi.

Statement 4 is incorrect because Bikaner and Jaisalmer are listed in the hyper-arid partial irrigated zone, not the Humid South Eastern Plain.
