Question

The total agricultural land in a village is $1200$ hectares. This is distributed among $320$ families who form four groups in the following pattern. It is assumed that the land is distributed equally within each group. Identify the group of small farmers

Group	Number of families	Total amount of land owned and operated by each group (in hectares)
A	100	300
B	180	300
C	30	300
D	10	300

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

B

In group of small farmers, it would be minimum land available to each farmer.

So we will find the ration of total amount of land owned and operated by each group to the number of families.

From A, $\frac{300}{100}=3$

From B, $\frac{300}{180}=1.67$

From C, $\frac{300}{30}=10$

From D, $\frac{300}{10}=30$

B is the group of small farmers.

Option B is correct.
