0,49,26,49,4,21,1

keywords: 

{'ryotwari system': [3, 0, 0, 2], 'individual cultivators': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'cultivators': [1, 0, 2, 4], 'owners': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'revenue': [3, 2, 3, 11], 'land': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct option is 1 only, which means that only statement 1 is correct. Let`s analyze each option to understand the reasoning:

Option 1: "1 only" - This means that statement 1 is correct. The Ryotwari system involved the government directly collecting revenue from individual cultivators. This system was implemented during British rule in India.

Option 2: "2 only" - This means that statement 2 is correct. However, statement 2 is incorrect. In the Ryotwari system, cultivators were recognized in law as the owners of the land. They had individual rights and responsibilities over the land they cultivated.

Option 3: "Both 1 and 2" - This option is incorrect because only statement 1 is correct. As mentioned earlier, statement 2 is incorrect.

Option 4: "Neither 1 nor 2" - This option is incorrect because statement 1 is correct. The government did collect revenue directly from individual cultivators in the Ryotwari system. However, statement 2 is incorrect, as cultivators were recognized as landowners under this system.

In conclusion, the correct option is 1 only, as statement 1 accurately describes the Ryotwari system.
