Question

1. Upland rice cultivation is done on terraced fields and highlands.
2. Upland rice cultivation is dependent on irrigation for water supply.

पर्याय

• (B) contradicts (А).

• (B) is the reason for (A).

• (A) is true but (B) is false.

• (A) and (B) are independent of each other.

Answer 1

(A) is true but (B) is false.

Explanation:

Upland rice is cultivated on mountainous slopes and hilly terrains where the natural slope prevents water from accumulating. Unlike lowland paddy, this method relies entirely on direct, heavy monsoon rainfall for moisture rather than artificial irrigation networks or flooded canals. Therefore, the assertion regarding its geographical setting is true, but the reason is false because the crop depends strictly on rain.
