Question

Match List-I with List-II:

List-I (Revenue-Collection)	List-II (Terms)
(A) The crops are reaped and stacked and divided by agreement in the presence of the parties	(I) bhaoli
(B) After the crops are cut and estimated in three lots; the good, the middling, and the inferior	(II) lang-batai
(C) After cutting the grain, heaps are divided among themselves	(III) kankut
(D) When the fields are divided after they are sown	(IV) khet-batai

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

Hint:

Break down the terms to remember their meaning. "Khet" means field, so "Khet-batai" is the division of the field. "Batai" means division or sharing. "Kankut" comes from 'kan' (grain) and 'kut' (estimate), so it means grain estimation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Objective: Match Mughal land revenue assessment/collection methods with their Persian/Hindustani terms.
Methodology:
(D) Division post-sowing: Dividing the field with the standing crop is termed (IV) khet-batai (field division).
(C) Division of threshed grain: Heaps of threshed grain are divided, known as (II) lang-batai.
(B) Estimation before division: Yield estimation of standing crops, not direct division, is (III) kankut.
(A) General crop-sharing: Reaping crops and dividing by agreement is broadly termed (I) bhaoli or ghalla-bakhshi.
Conclusion: The correct pairings are A-I, B-III, C-II, and D-IV, corresponding to option (2).
