Solution

In order to study the cropping pattern in the village, stratified sampling method can be used. Under this method, the entire population would be divided into two groups (strata), small farmers and big farmers. A sample would then be then drawn at random from each strata. Different samples drawn from the two stratas are then grouped together to get the required sample for the population.
