Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Rice – Wheat – Coarse Cereals – Pulses
Government estimates for 2006-07 put output at about Rice 92.8 Mt, Wheat 74.9 Mt, Coarse Cereals 34.3 Mt and Pulses 14.2 Mt. Hence the descending order is Rice > Wheat > Coarse Cereals > Pulses, i.e. option (d). Other sequences place the lower-producing pulses or coarse cereals too high and are therefore incorrect.
