• A. 37,500 kg
• B. 35,000 kg
• C. 32,500 kg
• D. 34,500 kg

Answer 1

The correct option is C 32,500 kg

We use net production value and not gross production value to calculate the availability of foodgrains.
Net total production
= Total amount of foodgrains produced – Other usage (Seed + Cattle feed + Wastage)
= 35,000 kg – (1,500 + 500 + 500) kg
= 35,000 kg – 2,500 kg
= 32,500 kg
