Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A Farmers grow significant quantities of oranges and mangoes in Dokur.
B These orchards require relatively less amounts of water.
C They grow well on lands previously used for the cultivation of groundnuts.
D Groundnut is grown in patches between the fruit plants/trees during the rainy season.

Farmers in Dokur grow fruits like mangoes and oranges in significant amounts. These plants/trees require relatively less amounts of water when compared to crops such as paddy. This allows for it to be grown on land previously used for the cultivation of groundnut. Farmers sow groundnut in between the trees in patches during the rainy season.
