A. $$\frac{{{\text{Weight of lint}}}}{{{\text{Weight of cotton seed}}}} \times 100$$

B. $$\frac{{{\text{Weight of lint}}}}{{{\text{Weight of seed cotton}}}} \times 100$$

C. $$\frac{{{\text{Weight of cotton seed}}}}{{{\text{Weight of lint}}}} \times 100$$

D. $$\frac{{{\text{Weight of seed cotton}}}}{{{\text{Weight of lint}}}} \times 100$$

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Ginning is the process of transforming cotton from field to fabric while ginning percentage is calculated mathematically through a formula:
$${\text{GP}}\% = \frac{{{\text{Weight of link}}}}{{{\text{Weight of seed cotton}}}} \times 100$$
Out turn of lint to seed is expressed as a percentage by weight and it normally varies between 24% - 38%.
