Which one of the following is wrongly matched?
AQasba – Small town
BIjara – Land out of cultivation ✓ Correct
CShroff – Money changer
DZimmi – Protected non-Muslim
Correct answer: (B) Ijara – Land out of cultivation — The pair Ijara and land out of cultivation is wrongly matched, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The pair Ijara and land out of cultivation is wrongly matched, so that is the answer.
★Ijara was in fact the system of revenue farming.
★When a peasant lacked the means to till, or a calamity struck, the land was given out on Ijara.
★It was handed to a third party called the reserve farmer.
★So Ijara does not simply mean land out of cultivation.
★The other three pairs are all correctly matched.
