Question

The capacity of power operated sugarcane sett cutter when operated by two persons is

• A. \(2500\) to \(3000\) setts/h
• B. \(3200\) to \(3500\) setts/h
• C. \(4000\) to \(4500\) setts/h
• D. \(5000\) to \(5500\) setts/h

Hint:

Power operated sugarcane sett cutters improve cutting speed and uniformity of setts for planting.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept:
A sugarcane sett cutter is used to cut sugarcane into planting setts. Power operated sett cutters reduce labour requirement and increase capacity.

Step 1: Sugarcane planting requires properly cut setts.

Step 2: Manual cutting is slow and requires more labour.

Step 3: A power operated sugarcane sett cutter cuts setts quickly and uniformly.

Step 4: When the machine is operated by two persons, its capacity is generally: \[ 3200\text{ to }3500\ \text{setts/h} \]

Step 5: Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{3200\text{ to }3500\ \text{setts/h}} \]
