Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) 1 and 2 only
All three legumes are multi-purpose: Cowpea (Lobia), Green gram (Moong) and Pigeon pea (Arhar/Tur) are consumed as pulses; when grown densely and incorporated they enrich soil nitrogen as green manure; and their protein-rich haulms are fed to livestock as fodder. Hence statements 1, 2 and 3 apply to all three crops. ([testbook.com](https://testbook.com/question-answer/consider-the-following-crops-of-india1-cowpea--601c47e6b5294f381a8fd318?utm_source=openai))
