Answer:
1...With this new British rule for collecting tax, many peasants fell deep into debt. But there was also another reason why their debts kept increasing. It was because there was an increase in foreign trade and the export of agricultural produce.
2..The ijaradari system was introduced by Warren Hastings according to this the right to collect revenue was given to the highest bidder called contractor for a period of five years. ... This system was a failure because bidding was often not related to the actual productivity of the land.
3..The chief evils of land revenue system of East India Company were-
1. A heavy proportion of tax burden fell on the cultivators.
2. One-third of the production was reserved for the imperial king.
3. The land tax was fixed in return for landed property rights for the zamindars
4.Ryotwari System was introduced by Thomas Munro in 1820. ... In Ryotwari System the ownership rights were handed over to the peasants. British Government collected taxes directly from the peasants. The revenue rates of Ryotwari System were 50% where the lands were dry and 60% in irrigated land.
