c) Both


Ans 24. C

Explanation: Akbar introduced the Dahasala and Zabati system of land revenue collection in 1580-82 to alleviate the problems arising due to fixing prices every year and doing settlements of revenues of previous years. In this system, average produce of ten years was derived. One third of this average produce was fixed in Rupees per Bigha and fixed as share of the state (Mal). Rest two third share was left to the cultivators (Kharaj).

The only difference is in Zabti system, not only were local prices taken in to account, paraganas having the same productivity were grouped in to same assessment circles.

Zabti System was introduced by Raja Todarmal, the able finance minister of Akbar, who had honed his skills under his first master Shershah Suri.
