Answer & Solution

Answer: (Detailed Solution Below)

Option A: Both 1 and 2

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “Both 1 and 2”.

The Upper Gangetic agro-climatic region includes parts of central and western Uttar Pradesh, specifically the areas around the Ganga River and its tributaries.

The Upper Gangetic region is highly irrigated, primarily through canals, tube wells, and other irrigation methods. The region has high irrigation intensity (more than 130%), meaning that the irrigated area is greater than the net cultivated area. Additionally, the region has high cropping intensity (over 140%), which refers to the multiple cropping systems (such as Rabi and Kharif crops) practiced in this area.
