Crop means plants of same origin grown together in bulk. Every crop requires different climatic condition, while some crops grow together on one season. The climatic condition, warmth, photo-period for growth and completion is required for different crops.

Two seasonal change types :

(a) Kharif crops

(b) Rabi crops.

Main seasonal plants are divided into two broad categories. The crops that grow in monsoon period is called Kharif crops which is around June to October. The crops that are harvested in winter period are called Rabi crops which are around November to April.

Kharif crop refers to the farming, plowing, reaping and harvesting of any household plant sown in the rainy season. It is derived from mochas words in subcontinent. In subcontinent they are popularly known as monsoon plants. They are cultivated for autumn harvest. By the beginning of first rain in July during south west rainy season in monsoon the crops are sown. Its begins at April 16 to October 15 in Pakistan, while in India Kharif season varies state to state in may and ending latest by January. Popularly in subcontinent it starts in June and ends by October. The Indian subcontinent is referred to areas covering India, Pakistan, Nepal and Srilanka. These crops are totally dependent on quantity of rain and water as well as its timings. Too much or too less will affect its growth and the whole effort can go wasted. The harvesting period coincides with the beginning of winter/ autumn in Indian subcontinent it is called Kharif period or Kharif crops. The major Kharif crops that are harvested in sub continent are paddy, soyabean, maize, pigeon-pea, and cotton, green and black grams.

Rabi crops or Rabi harvests are the crops in agriculture that are sown in winter or cold season. They are harvested in the spring. Rabi is Arabic word which in actual means “spring”. Thus the word “Rabi” is used frequently in subcontinent. Rabi is grown around the month of November to April in our subcontinent. The water collected from the rain in this season is the main source of water in these plants. Rabi crops require greater amount of irrigation. Thus heavy raining may ruin a Kharif crop but it is healthy and beneficial for Rabi crops. These crops are then taken out at departure of the monsoon rains. The harvesting may begin by April or may. Major Rabi crops that are harvested in subcontinents are wheat, grams, peas, mustard, linseed and barley. Most of the crops are under Rabi season. It is an integral crop in our area.

Credit refers to an agreement in which the lender supplies the borrower with money, goods or services in return for the promise of future payment. There is a need for credit in rural areas for the following reasons.

(iii) Farmers usually takes crop loans at the beginning of the season and repay the loan after harvest. 

(iv) Rural people also take loans for starting small business and for the marriage of their daughters.

• Kharif crops sown between April and May while Rabi crops are sown between September and October.
• Kharif crops are harvested after monsoon rains while Rabi crops are produced after winter.
• Kharif crops are popularly known as monsoon crops while Rabi crops are called winter or spring crops.
• Kharif crops are completely relying over the rain like if less or more in quantity while Rabi can deal with whatever water is present for irrigation. Rain has less impact over Rabi crops.
• The major examples that can be counted as Kharif crops are sunflower, rice, sugar cane, soya bean and tea while Rabi crops can be wheat, barley, pea, gram and mustard.

In the given data two attributes are :

1. Faculty: Engineering, Medical, Science, Arts, Commerce
2. Sex: Boys, Girls

According to these two attributes table is prepared as follows :
Table showing the number of students of a university according to their faculties and sex

Explanation:

No. of boys = 40000 × 60100 = 24000
No. of girls = (40000 – 24000 =) 16000

No. of girls in medical faculty = 40000 × 10100 = 4000
= 4000 and No. of boys = 40000 x 15100 = 6000
∴ No. of students in medical faculty = (4000 + 6000) = 10000

No. of students in Science faculty
= 40000 × 20100 = 8000

Suppose, the number of boys = x = 7000
∴ No. of girls = x7 = 1000

Now, x + x7 = 8000
x = 7000
∴ No. of boys in Arts faculty = 40000 × 7100
= 2800
and No. of girls = 40000 x -yyr = 6800
∴ The number of students in Arts faculty = 2800 + 6800 = 9600
No. of students in commerce faculty = 40000 × 17100 = 1500

∴ The number of students In Arts faculty = 2800 + 6800 = 9600
No. of students in commerce faculty = 40000 × 3.75100 = 1500

The proportion of boys and girls is 3:7.
∴ No. of boys = 310 × 1500 = 450
No. of girls = 710 × 1500 = 1050

No. of girls in Engineering faculty
= 3(1050)
= 3150

No. of boys
= 24000 – (6000 + 7000 + 2800 + 450)
= 24000- 16250 = 7750

∴ The number of students in Engineering faculty
= 7750 + 3150 = 10900

Correct option is (b) Classification of numeric data

In the given data, minimum closing price of share is ₹ 10.50 and maximum price is ₹ 20.80.
One class 18.5-20.5 is given. Therefore the initial class that includes the minimum value of ₹ 10.5 is 10.5-12.5 and the last class that includes the maximum value of ₹ 20.80 is 20.5 – 22.5.

The frequency distribution is obtained as follows :
Exclusive continuous frequency

(1) Mid value of fourth class :
Fourth class 16.5 – 18.5
∴ Mid value = 18.5 + 16.5 / 2 = 35 / 2
= 17.5

(2) No. of days during which the closing price of share is at the most ₹ 16.50 mean the number of days during which the closing price of share is less than ₹ 16.50 = 2 + 6 + 8= 16 days.

(3) The number of days during which the closing price of share is at least ₹ 19.50 means the number of days during which the closing price of share is more than
₹ 19.50 = 8 / 5 + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6 days

∵In 18.5-20.5, 8 days are uniformly distributed. Therefore in 18.5-19.5, 4 days are there.
