What was the importance of land measurement in Sher Shah Suri's revenue system?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Making revenue assessment more systematic
Measuring cultivated land gave the administration a more regular basis for assessing revenue. It helped relate the demand to the area and productivity of land, reducing arbitrary estimation and making collection more organised. Sher Shah's revenue arrangements were important precedents for later Mughal reforms. Painting, court music and stopping sea travel were unrelated to the purpose of land measurement, so A is correct.
