C.

Answer
D.
3.33

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
First, let's understand the key terms:
* Paid-out cost: This is the actual money the farmer spends. In this case, it's Rs. 500.
* Fixed cost: These are costs that don't change with the level of production. Here, it's Rs. 250.
* Gross returns: This is the total revenue the farmer gets from the farm business, which is Rs. 3700.
* Capital turnover: This ratio shows how efficiently a business uses its capital to generate revenue. It's calculated as Gross Returns / Total Cost.

Now, let's calculate the total cost:
Total Cost = Paid-out Cost + Fixed Cost = Rs. 500 + Rs. 250 = Rs. 750

Next, calculate the capital turnover:
Capital Turnover = Gross Returns / Total Cost = Rs. 3700 / Rs. 750 = 4.93

Therefore, the capital turnover is 4.93.

So, the correct answer is: Option C: 4.93
