Question

Due to heavy population pressure on land, the level of ______.

Options

• Per capita income is low.

• Per capita availability of land area is very low.

• Both the per capita income and the per capita availability of land area are very low.

• Neither the per capita income nor the per capita availability of land area is very low.

Answer 1

Due to heavy population pressure on land, the level of both the per capita income and the per capita availability of land area are very low.

Explanation:

Heavy population pressure on land causes the per capita availability of land area to be very low. This leads to fragmentation and subdivision of land holdings, reducing the size of agricultural holdings. Consequently, per capita income remains low as too many people depend on a limited amount of land. Fragmented and small holdings make scientific cultivation difficult, lowering agricultural productivity. Thus, both per capita income and per capita land availability are very low due to population pressure on land.
