    C 4:4:2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2:3:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Groundnut is sensitive to imbalanced nutrient supply. The K:C: Mg ratio is more important than the total amount. Increase in conc. of Mg in nutrient solution decrease K uptake by groundnut & also decreases Ca uptake. The ideal ratio of K, Ca & Mg is 4:4:2.
