Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)
(A) The crops are reaped and stacked and divided by agreement in the presence of the parties — this matches (I) bhaoli. In batai, also called bhaoli, the reaped and stacked crop was divided by agreement in front of both parties.
(B) After the crops are cut and estimated in three lots; the good, the middling, and the inferior — this matches (III) kankut. Kan means grain and kut means estimate; where there was doubt, the crop was cut and estimated in three lots.
(C) After cutting the grain, heaps are divided among themselves — this matches (II) lang-batai. After the grain was cut, it was formed into heaps and divided, and each took his share home.
(D) When the fields are divided after they are sown — this matches (IV) khet-batai. Here the fields themselves, not the harvest, were divided after sowing.
