Question

Assertion (A): Categorisation of the cropping season does not exist in southern India.

Reason (R): The temperatures are sufficiently high to grow tropical crops during any period in the year provided the soil moisture is available.

विकल्प

• Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

• Both A and R are true but R does not explain A.

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

Categorisation of cropping seasons like Kharif, Rabi and Zaid does not exist in southern India because the temperatures remain sufficiently high throughout the year to grow tropical crops at any time, as long as soil moisture is available. Thus, the reason perfectly explains the assertion.
