What was the production of rice production to wheat production in India in 2013?

1 : 1

0.8 : 1

2 : 1

1.2 : 1

- Let's calculate the total production of rice and wheat in 2013.

- Rice: 45 (Punjab) + 48 (UP) + 59 (Bihar) + 41 (MP) + 37 (Kerala) + 68 (AP) + 57 (TN) + 38 (Others) = 393 lakh tons

- Wheat: 103 (Punjab) + 86 (UP) + 32 (Bihar) + 37 (MP) + 22 (Kerala) + 15 (AP) + 8 (TN) + 28 (Others) = 331 lakh tons

- Now let's find the ratio of rice to wheat production:

- Rice/Wheat = 393/331 = 1.187 = approximately 1.2 : 1

- Review the options:

- Option 1: 1 : 1 (Incorrect, rice production is not equal to wheat production)

- Option 2: 0.8 : 1 (Incorrect, rice production is more than wheat)

- Option 3: 2 : 1 (Incorrect, rice production is not double the wheat production)

- Option 4: 1.2 : 1 (Correct, as calculated)
