Solution

The correct option is D 864 hectare/cumec
Base period,
B = 90 days

Total depth of water required by crop
= 105 cm

Rainfall = 15 cm

So, depth of water provided by irrigation system,
$Δ = 105 c m - 15 c m$
$= 90 c m$

$Duty, D = \frac{8.64 B}{Δ} = \frac{8.64 \times 90}{0.9}$

= 864 hectare/cumec
