Correct option is (b) Khosla’s formula

For explanation: Khosla formula is based upon the recent research work conducted in the field. It is a simple and useful formula and can be applied to the entire country. The formula is given as-

Yield (Q) = P – 0.48 Tm where Q = the yield in cm, P = rainfall in cm, and Tm = mean annual temperature of the area.
