As per Census 2011, there are about 263 million agricultural workers in India. Out of this, women percentage is how much?
Answer: B
Women make up about 37% of agricultural workers.
The Census of 2011 counted about 263 million agricultural workers: around 118.8 million cultivators and 144.3 million agricultural labourers. Of these, about 36 million cultivators and 61.6 million labourers were women, roughly 98 million in all.
\[ \frac{98}{263} \times 100 \approx 37\% \]
20% understates women's role, and 47% and 50% overstate it. The figures also show that most women in agriculture work as labourers rather than as cultivators.
