The correct answer is: a) Over 80%<\/strong><\/p>\n Punjab is a state in northwestern India. It is the second most populous state in India, after Uttar Pradesh. The state has a land area of 50,362 square kilometers (19,445 sq mi).<\/p>\n According to the 2011 census, 80.6% of Punjab’s land area is under cultivation. This is the highest percentage of any state in India. The main crops grown in Punjab are wheat, rice, cotton, and sugarcane.<\/p>\n The high percentage of land under cultivation in Punjab is due to a number of factors, including the state’s fertile soil, its temperate climate, and its abundant water resources. The state also has a long history of agriculture, dating back to the Indus Valley Civilization.<\/p>\n Punjab’s agricultural sector is a major contributor to the state’s economy. The sector employs about 50% of the state’s workforce and accounts for about 20% of the state’s gross domestic product (GDP).<\/p>\n The state government has taken a number of steps to promote agriculture in Punjab. These include providing subsidies for agricultural inputs, such as seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides; providing irrigation facilities; and building roads and other infrastructure to support the agricultural sector.<\/p>\n Punjab’s agricultural sector has faced a number of challenges in recent years, including declining water availability, soil degradation, and pests and diseases. However, the state government has taken steps to address these challenges, and the agricultural sector remains a major contributor to the state’s economy.<\/p>\n The other options are:<\/p>\n b) 60-80% These options are incorrect because they do not represent the actual percentage of Punjab’s land area that is under cultivation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [amp_mcq option1=”Over 80%” option2=”60-80%” option3=”40-60%” option4=”Less than 40%” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[991],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76248","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-punjab-gk-mcq","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"\n
