Lagaan is levied on the 60% of the cultivated land. The revenue department

Ques - Lagaan is levied on the 60% of the cultivated land. The revenue department collected a total Rs. 3,84,000 through the lagan from the village of Sukhiya. Sukhiya, a very rich farmer, paid only Rs 480 as a lagaan. Find the percentage of total land of Sukhiya over the total taxable land?

(a) 0.15%

(b) 15%

(c) 0.125%

(d) none of these

Solution - Lagaan is levied on the cultivated land = 60%

= 60/100

= 0.6

Collected lagan from the village of Sukhiya = 3,84,000

Sukhiya paid lagaan = 480

Therefore,

Sukhiya total land = 480x/0.6

= 800x

Cultivated land of village = 3,84,000x

Therefore,

The percentage of total land of Sukhiya over the total taxable land = (800x/384000x)*100

= 0.20833

Hence,

The correct option is (d) none of these.
