1In Balbharati Class 12 Agricultural Science, the local Marathi name commonly given for wheat is:
A.Gahu
B.Bhat
C.Shengdana
D.Harabhara
Explanation: Wheat is listed with local name Gahu. Botanical references use Triticum species (mainly Triticum aestivum in India). Bhat/dhan is paddy, shengdana is groundnut, and harabhara is gram.
2Among cereals, wheat dough’s bakery-making quality is especially linked to the protein complex called:
A.Casein
B.Gluten (gliadin and glutenin)
C.Pectin only
D.Cellulose only
Explanation: Balbharati notes gluten (gliadin and glutenin) as the rubbery protein mass in wheat dough that is highly essential for bakery products. Soft wheat is used for chapati/bread/biscuits; hard wheat for rawa/suji/sewai.
3In India, which wheat species occupies about 90% of the cultivated wheat area according to the Std XII text?
A.Triticum durum only
B.Triticum dicoccum only
C.Triticum aestivum
D.Triticum monococcum only
Explanation: Several Triticum species are cultivated, but Triticum aestivum is described as most common, occupying about 90% of India’s wheat area.
4Wheat is a temperate rabi crop. Optimum spacing for irrigated wheat is about:
A.5 cm between rows
B.60 cm between rows
C.120 cm between rows
D.22.5 cm between rows
Explanation: Balbharati states optimum spacing for irrigated wheat about 22.5 cm and for rainfed about 30 cm. Depth is deeper for rainfed (about 8–10 cm) than irrigated (about 3–5 cm).
5Typical seed rate range given for dwarf wheat varieties is about:
A.100–125 kg/ha
B.10–15 kg/ha
C.300–350 kg/ha
D.500–600 kg/ha
Explanation: Dwarf varieties: about 100–125 kg/ha; bold-seeded 125–150 kg/ha; rainfed crop lower at about 75–80 kg/ha.
6Botanical name of paddy (rice) as listed in the Agricultural Science text is:
A.Triticum aestivum
B.Oryza sativa
C.Zea mays
D.Hordeum vulgare
Explanation: Paddy/rice is Oryza sativa, family Gramineae, origin South and South-East Asia; local names include Sal, Bhat, Dhan.
7Rice is described as the staple food of roughly what share of the world’s population in the Balbharati text?
A.About 10%
B.About 25%
C.About 60%
D.About 95%
Explanation: The text states rice is the staple food of about 60% of the world’s population and notes rice bran contains about 18–20% edible oil.
8Groundnut (peanut) belongs to which family as treated in traditional oilseed crops?
A.Gramineae
B.Solanaceae
C.Cucurbitaceae
D.Leguminosae (Fabaceae)
Explanation: Groundnut is a legume oilseed (Arachis hypogaea, Leguminosae/Fabaceae). It fixes nitrogen with Rhizobium and is a major kharif oilseed in India.

B.December–January only
C.March–April only
D.September–October only as the sole season
Explanation: The text notes soybean as kharif (June–July sowing) and also possible as rabi (October–November). Row spacing about 45–60 cm and depth about 3–5 cm are given for drilling.
10Gram (chickpea) is mainly a rabi pulse. Pod formation is highlighted as:
A.An unimportant irrigation stage
B.The most critical stage for irrigation when water is available
C.Only a kharif transplanting stage
D.A stage when no moisture is ever needed
Explanation: Gram is often rainfed on residual moisture, but if irrigation is available it is given at sowing, branching, flowering and pod filling; pod formation is the most critical irrigation stage.
