How many acres does the N1/2 of the W1/2 of the SE1/4 of a section of land contain?

  1. 20 acres

  2. 40 acres

  3. 80 acres

  4. 160 acres

The correct answer is: 40 acres

The N1/2 of the W1/2 of the SE1/4 of a section of land refers to the Northwest quarter of the Southwest quarter, which is then divided in half North to South. In total, this amount of land is equivalent to 40 acres. Option A (20 acres) is incorrect because it does not account for the W1/2, while option C (80 acres) and option D (160 acres) are incorrect because they do not account for the N1/2 division. The correct answer is B, as it takes into consideration both the N1/2 and W1/2 divisions of the SE1/4 of the section of land, resulting in 40 acres.
