Solution

The correct options are
A They a have a shorter life cycle
B The yield per area is significantly high
The advantages of high yielding varieties are that High Yielding Variety Seeds (HYV) have a shorter life cycle and thereby enable the farmers to go for multiple cropping. For example, new seeds of rice and wheat complete their lifecycles in 110 and 120 days respec­tively. The traditional varieties of rice and wheat, on the other hand, take about 130 and 150 days respectively to harvest. The yield per unit area is significantly high.
