Options
Answer: (2) 1 and 3
Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct: Jute is used for making a wide range of decorative items (bags, mats, wall hangings, carpets) apart from its traditional use in gunny bags and packaging. Statement 2 is incorrect: Sugarcane is NOT a cereal crop — it is a cash crop (commercial crop). Cereal crops include wheat, rice, maize, barley, and millet. Statement 3 is correct: Cotton requires a clear, sunny, cloudless sky during the flowering and boll-opening stage — excessive rainfall or cloudy weather during this period damages the cotton crop and reduces quality. Statement 4 is incorrect: Sugarcane is predominantly a tropical and subtropical crop, NOT a temperate crop — it requires high temperatures (21–27°C), ample rainfall, and a frost-free climate. Hence statements 1 and 3 are correct.
