Question : 32

Total: 60

Solution:

Concept:

The number of yam setts is obtained by dividing the total land area by the area occupied by each sett.

Explanation:

One hectare of land is equal to

10{,}000 \ \mathrm{m}^2

The spacing of

1.0 \ \mathrm{m} \times 1.0 \ \mathrm{m}

means each yam sett occupies an area of

1.0 \ \mathrm{m}^2

Number of setts is calculated as:

\text{Number of setts} = \frac{10{,}000 \ \mathrm{m}^2}{1.0 \ \mathrm{m}^2} = 10{,}000

setts.

Thus, at a spacing of

1.0 \ \mathrm{m} \times 1.0 \ \mathrm{m}

, a hectare of land can contain

10{,}000

yam setts.

D. 10,000 setts
