According to stories in the Vedas, scholars believe that the Indo-Aryans first lived as herders.
To find the answer to this question, you can interpret the given information "7 of 217 of 21 Items."
The phrase "7 of 217" indicates that there are a total of 217 items, and 7 items from this total are relevant to the question. Additionally, the phrase "of 21 Items" suggests that the 217 items are divided into groups of 21.
To calculate the number of groups, divide the total number of items (217) by the number of items per group (21):
217 / 21 = 10.33
Since you cannot have a fraction of a group, we round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, there are 10 groups of 21 items, with the remaining 7 items forming an incomplete group.
Now, we can turn our attention to the question itself. According to stories in the Vedas, scholars believe that the Indo-Aryans first lived as what?
Given the options "farmers," "herders," and "hunters," we need to determine which option corresponds to the incomplete group of 7 items.
To do this, count the items in each option group (farmers, herders, and hunters) until you reach the 7th item.
Option 1: farmers
Option 2: herders
Option 3: hunters
Counting the items, you will find that the 7th item falls within the "farmers" group. Therefore, scholars believe that according to stories in the Vedas, the Indo-Aryans first lived as farmers.
