d) Only 2
Question from UPPSC Prelims 2024
Correct Answer: c) Only 1
Explanation:
The term “Cereal Yield” specifically refers to the amount of cereal crops produced per unit area of harvested land. It is typically measured in kilograms or tons per hectare. This metric is used to assess agricultural productivity and efficiency in cereal crop production.
– Option 1 is correct because it aligns with the definition of cereal yield as a measure of production per unit area.
– Option 2 is incorrect because the total production of cereal crops in a country refers to the overall quantity produced, not the yield per unit area.
Thus, the correct answer is Only 1.
