Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 51.
The Ryotwari System covered about 51 per cent of the area under British rule. This extensive land revenue system encompassed significant regions, including the Madras and Bombay Presidencies, parts of Assam, Coorg, and certain other areas of British India. Under this system, revenue was collected directly from the individual cultivators (ryots), bypassing intermediaries like zamindars, with the rates typically subject to periodic revision.
