Solution
The correct option is B Rahat-gadge ∙ Rahat gadge is used in Konkan regions to draw water from wells. Rahat is a large wheel that has several pots attached to it. These pots are known as gadge. This wheel is turned with the help of bullocks. ∙ These pots [gadge] dip into the water in the well as the rahat is turned and gets filled as they come out. ∙ The water from these pots gets poured into a channel and then it is sent to grooves and used for farming.
