Question

When known numbers of seeds from two species (X and Y) are mixed together in different proportions and planted in five small plots of soil in the spring. The plants grow, flower, and produce seeds. It is found that the percentage of seeds of species X and species Y in the harvest is usually different from the proportion that was planted, although the total number of seeds produced is the same as the number of seeds planted. The data are plotted on the graph.
If the plot was planted with 25 percent species X and 75 percent species Y then in harvest the mixture of seed will be

Sr. No.	X	Y
(A)	25%	75%
(B)	40%	60%
(C)	50%	50%
(D)	60%	40%
(E)	75%	25%

• A. (A)
• B. (B)
• C. (C)
• D. (D)
• E. (E)

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

(C)

According to the question, total number of seeds in harvest remain same as that of being planted irrespective of the different proportion of X and Y species. From the given graph, if planted seeds had 25% X species seeds, then the percent of X and Y species in harvest will be 50% X and 50% Y.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
