Solution
The correct option is B 7 acres, 8 acres, 9 acres
The net sown area is the total amount of area used to grow crops in a given year. The areas that are left uncultivated for one agricultural year or lesser is termed as current fallow land.
Gross cropped Area = Net Sown Area + area sown more than once in an agricultural year
From the above definitions, we can conclude Tejas's:
Net sown area = 7 acres
Current fallow land = 20- (7+5)= 8 acres
Gross cropped area = 7+2= 9 acres
