Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “Both 1 and 2”.
Western region of U.P. is much more developed compared to other regions. Western Uttar Pradesh was a key beneficiary of the Green Revolution in India during the 1960s and 1970s.
Western Uttar Pradesh is relatively more developed compared to other parts of the state. It benefits from better infrastructure, higher agricultural productivity, and proximity to the National Capital Region (NCR), which has spurred industrial and economic development.

The introduction of high-yield variety seeds, improved irrigation facilities, and the use of fertilizers and pesticides significantly increased agricultural productivity in the region, particularly for wheat and sugarcane.
