The correct answer is 3 only.

  • The land under the direct management of the State (Darbar) was known as Khalsa.
  • The land held by grantees, whether individuals or religious, institutions, was known as non-Khalsa or Jagir.
  • Hence statement 1 and 2 are not correct.
  • Land under Jagir was more than the land under Khalsa System.
  • Hence only statement 3 is correct.

  • The land was divided into two main groups, viz. Khalsa and Jagir.
    • Khalsa Land: The land under the direct management of the State (Darbar) was known as Khalsa.
    • Jagir Land: The land held by grantees, whether individuals or religious, institutions, was known as non- Khalsa or Jagir.
    • While in total, about 60% of the land was under Jagir and 40% was under Khalsa.
    • The proportion of territory under both groups varied widely in different states.
    • According to the Imperial Gazetteer, the proportion of the Khalsa and Jagir land was:
      • Jodhpur: 1/7 (Khalsa) & 6/7 (Jagir).
      • Udaipur: 1/4 (Khalsa) & 3/4 (Jagir).
      • Jaipur: 2/5 (Khalsa) & 3/5 (Jagir).
