Best answer
The correct answer is (a) 0.384 ha/hr

For explanation: Total cross-sectional area = 40*15*3 = 1800 cm^2

Unit draft = 1200/1800 = 0.66 kg/cm^2 = 64.68 KPa

Actual field capacity = Theoretical field capacity * field efficiency

= \(\frac{3*40*4*1000}{100*10000}*\frac{80}{100}\) = 0.384 ha/hr.
