(a)शेतकऱ्यांसाठी व खाजगी कंपन्यांना सगळ्यांनाच अधिक नफा हीच बाब सर्वात महत्वाची राहिली आहे. / Higher profits is the main consideration for the farmers and the private companies all alike.
(b)अधिक चांगले वाण निर्माण करण्यास्तव जंगली वनस्पती लागवड केल्या जात असलेल्या प्रजातींना नेहमीच नियमितपणे मदत केली आहे. / The wild crops have regularly helped their cultivated counter parts throughout the history in producing superior varieties.
Statement (a) is correct as profit maximization is a core goal for commercial farming and private entities.
