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.
