Two regions are being considered for the cultivation of Crop X.\n\nRegion A: total area $12{,}000\ \text{km}^2$, population $3{,}600{,}000$, annual rainfall $1{,}200\ \text{mm}$, arable‑land proportion $30\%$.\n\nRegion B: total area $8{,}000\ \text{km}^2$, population $2{,}400{,}000$, annual rainfall $900\ \text{mm}$, arable‑land proportion $45\%$.\n\nCrop X needs at least $500\ \text{mm}$ of rainfall and a per‑capita arable‑land availability of $0.5\ \text{ha}$.\n\nUsing the data, decide which region is more suitable for Crop X, showing all calculations.

Question

Accepted Answer

Region B is relatively more suitable but still does not meet the 0.5 ha per‑person arable‑land requirement; therefore neither region is fully suitable for Crop X.
