Question

Which of the following is primary function of broadcaster?

(A) Open the seed furrow to proper depth

(B) Meter the seed

(C) Distribute seed over a given width of land

(D) Deposit the seed in the furrow in acceptable pattern

(E) Cover the seed and compact soil around it

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E).
• B. (A), (B), (D) and (E) only.
• C. (A), (D) and (E) only.
• D. (B) and (C) only.

Hint:

Remember a broadcaster works only on the surface, it never opens or closes a furrow.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Compare a broadcaster with a seed drill function by function. A seed drill does four jobs in sequence, opening the furrow, metering seed, dropping it into the furrow in a set pattern, and finally covering and firming the soil over it.

A broadcaster skips the furrow-related jobs entirely, since it just spreads seed over the surface with no furrow to open, no furrow to place seed into, and no covering step afterward.

What remains once the furrow-based jobs (A, D and E) are removed from that list is exactly metering the seed (B) and spreading it over the width of land (C).

That leaves only (B) and (C) as the primary functions of a broadcaster.

\[\boxed{(B)\text{ and }(C)\text{ only}}\]
