Answer 2

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

In this question, we have to determine the type of distribution of land in the Palampur village. In this, it is given that in Palampur 450 families live. the land of Palampur has distributed among these families but out of 450 families, 150 families are landless. Out of the remaining families, 240 families have land of fewer than 2 hectares. The remaining families have land greater than 2 hectares. From this we conclude that the land distribution in Palampur is unequal because some of the families have no land, on the other hand, some families have less land and other families have a large area of land. Hence, from this, we can say that the land distribution is unequal.

Hence, option (b) is correct.

option (a) is not correct because the land distribution is not equal.

Option (c) is not correct because the land distribution is not in the ratio of 2:1.

Option (d) is not correct because the given data is sufficient.
