Answer 1

Explanation:

Net Sown Area:

This represents the total area sown with crops and orchards. The area sown more than once in the same year is counted only once.

Net Sown Area in India: 139.9 million hectares (42.57% of the total geographical area)

Gross Cropped Area

This represents the total area sown once and/or more than once in a particular year, i.e. the area is counted as many times as there are sowings in a year. This total area is also known as total cropped area or total area sown.

Gross Cropped Area in India: 194.4 million hectares (59.14% of the total geographical area)

Cropping Intensity

It is the ratio of the Total Cropped Area (or the gross cropped area) to the Net Area Sown.

Cropping Intensity in India = (Gross Cropped Area ÷Net Area Sown) * 100

= (194.4 ÷ 139.9) * 100

= 138.9%.
