Solution(By Examveda Team)

Hectare-furrow slice (HFS) is the assumed mass of a hectare to a depth of 15 cm, 2,200 Mg (metric tons, 1,000 kg. Acre-furrow (AFS) is the assumed mass of an acre to a depth of, 1,000 tons (2,000 lbs)
The approximate weight of surface 15 cm soil of a one-hectare field is approximately 2 million i.e. 2.24 × 10⁶ kg.
