Answer: (2)

Solution: (2)

Total earning $=65000 \times 2$ $=$ Rs. 130000

Earning from sales of Rice $=130000 \times \frac{7}{13}=$ Rs. 70000

Earning from sales of Raggi $=130000 \times \frac{6}{13}=$ Rs. 60000

Area of land $-A=\left(\frac{70000}{200}\right)$ $=350$ sq. metre

Area of land $-C=\left(\frac{60000}{150}\right)$ $=400$ sq. metre

Required difference $=400-350$ $=50 sq$. metre
