Solution

The correct option is A 1 only

Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct. The areas of Madras, Bombay and Assam didn't have a strong intermediary class which made it pertinent for the British to engage in direct revenue collection.

Statement 2 is incorrect. The land revenue was fixed once every 20 years at the rate of 50% of produce, in normal circumstances.

Statement 3 is incorrect. Land revenue was directly collected by the East India Company’s bureaucracy. The aggregation of land revenue took place in the Mahalwari system which was the responsibility of the Lambardar.
