Reason (R): Nearly 55 per cent of the area sown is dependent on irrigation.

पर्याय

• 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

A is true but R is false.

Explanation:

Agricultural output depends on monsoon as many areas rely on rainfall. But nearly 55% area sown depends on rainfall, not irrigation. So, the reason saying “55% depends on irrigation” is incorrect; they depend on rainfall instead.
