Solution(By Examveda Team)

Mandarin of Nagpur is considered the finest mandarin in the world.
The mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata), also known as the mandarin or mandarine, is a small citrus tree fruit. Mandarins are smaller and oblate, unlike the spherical common oranges.
Nagpur mandarin is the most popular fruit among all types of oranges in India due to its sweet-sour appealing taste and easy peelable quality of the rind.
This land is by far the largest cultivator of oranges as compared to other cities in India. While, majority of cultivation is done in the nearby region of Vidharba, with over around 80,000 hectares of land used for the purpose. Nagpur being more of a commercial center uses only 20,965 hectares of land for orange cultivation. The total production of oranges is around 5 lakhs tons per year.
