Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
District crop-production rankings are period-sensitive: a defensible factual comparison must name the reporting year and use total production, not area or yield.
For a previous-year question, the commission’s official key records the accepted examination response, while later official statistics can reveal whether the unqualified wording remains factually stable.
Application
The official BPSC booklet contains this exact item as Set A question 90 in paper code 21/PV/M–2023.
The official BPSC answer key identifies Muzaffarpur as the accepted response for Set A question 90.
The Bihar Directorate of Economics and Statistics table for 2023–24 instead records Purnea as the statewide leader at 1,144,858 tonnes; Muzaffarpur records 144,931 tonnes.
Cross-check
Evidence | Recorded value |
|---|---|
BPSC 2023 official key | Set A question 90: Muzaffarpur |
Bihar official table, 2023–24 | Purnea: 1,144,858 tonnes |
Bihar official table, 2023–24 | Muzaffarpur: 144,931 tonnes |
Result
For this BPSC 2023 previous-year question, Muzaffarpur is the commission-marked response. The later 2023–24 statistics show why the reporting year must be stated when this fact is used outside the examination context.
