If on a 20 acre farm, crops are raised on 15 acres in rabi, 15 acres in kharif and 20 acres in zaid in a year, what shall be the cropping intensity

Answer: Option A

Cropping intensity is the ratio of gross area sown to the net area sown.
It refers to growing several crops in the same field during one agricultural year.
$$\begin{array}{rl}& \text{Cropping Intensity}\\ & =\frac{\text{Gross Croped Area}}{\text{Net Sown Area}}\times 100\\ & =\frac{50}{20}\times 100\\ & =250\%\end{array}$$
Gross cropped area = 50
Net Sown area = 20
