Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : April

In this question given that- 

A farmer grows 3 crops in rotation – Rice, wheat and Jowar.

Rice is grown between the months June‐Nov,

wheat between Feb – July

Jowar between Oct‐March.

Wheat	Feb - July
Rice	July - Sept
Jowar	Oct - Mar

Each crop takes 3 months from sowing to harvesting. At a time only one crop can be grown.

No mention of gap or waiting month.

If the farmer wants to sow Rice in the month of July, it means the previous crop must harvest in the month of June.

The 3-month structure is as follows.

Wheat	April-May-June
Rice	July-Aug-Sept
Jowar	Oct-Nov-Dec

Then wheat should be sown in the month of April. It takes April-may-June.

Hence, April is the correct answer.
