(1a)
A – Clay soil
B- Sandy soil

(1b)
Sandy

(1ci)
Cylinder A:
Percentage of water retained = (Water collected / Water added) x 100
= (10 cm³ / 30 cm³) x 100
= 33.33%

(1cii)
Cylinder B:
Percentage of water retained = (Water collected / Water added) x 100
= (25 cm³ / 30 cm³) x 100
= 83.33%

(2b)
The seeds are planted in the farm tool containing the required soil. The set up is placed in the sun with frequent supply of adequate water. After leaving for few weeks,the seeds starts to germinate and it’s then transplanted to the field properly.

*===================*

(3a)
Plant Population=
Area of farmland/spacing

Plant population= (3 hectares × 10,000m²/hectare)/ 1m × 0.5m

Plant population= 10,000m²/0.5m²

Plant population= 60,000

(3b)
Land area: 5 hectares= 50,000m²
Spacing: 1m×1m = 1m²
Germination Percentage: 90%

Plant population(maize) = (50,000m²/1m²) × (90/100)

Plant population= 50,000 × 0.9

Plant population= 45,000

(3c)
