Solution

The correct option is B
2 only
Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect: Cropping intensity is the ratio of Gross cropped area to Net sown area. Cropping intensity = (Gross cropped area / Net sown area) x 100

Statement 2 is correct: A higher crop intensity means that during one agricultural year a larger portion of the net area would be cultivated more than once. High crop intensity can thus lead to higher land and labour utilization.
