Correct answer: (c) Only 1
Explanation
- A
Both 1 and 2
Option (a) claims both statements 1 and 2 define cereal yield correctly. However, total national production measures aggregate volume, not productivity per unit area.
- B
Neither 1 nor 2
Option (b) claims neither statement is correct. This is false because statement 1 accurately captures the agronomic definition of yield.
- C
Only 1
Option (c) states that only statement 1 is correct. Cereal yield is officially measured as kilograms or tonnes per hectare of harvested land, making this the correct key.
- D
Only 2
Option (d) claims only statement 2 is correct, confusing total agricultural output with land productivity.
Summary. Official key is (c) because cereal yield specifically measures productivity per unit area of harvested land rather than total aggregate production. Statement 1 correctly identifies yield as production per unit area. Statement 2 describes overall agricultural production, which varies with total sown area. Therefore, only the first statement holds true.
