Neco Model Questions Vol1 2024 Geography Question 5

A country has three major regions with the following characteristics:\n\n- Coastal: elevation 0-200 m, mean annual rainfall 2,200 mm, mean temperature 27 °C.\n- Highland: elevation 1,200-2,500 m, rainfall 1,200 mm, temperature 18 °C.\n- Savannah: elevation 300-800 m, rainfall 900 mm, temperature 24 °C.\n\nA particular crop requires at least 1,500 mm of rainfall, a temperature between 20 °C and 30 °C, and cannot be grown above 1,000 m elevation. Which region(s) are suitable for this crop? If the total arable land in the country is 1.2 million hectares, distributed proportionally to the area of each region (Coastal 30 %, Highland 25 %, Savannah 45 %), and the government wants 40 % of the total arable land to be devoted to the crop, calculate how many hectares in each suitable region should be allocated to meet the target, assuming the crop can only be grown in suitable regions.
