Explanation

The Ryotwari System was a land revenue system implemented by the British in India.

Under this system, the rent was indeed paid directly by the peasants to the government, which validates statement 1. The government also gave pattas or legal documents to the ryots (peasants) as a form of land ownership, which makes statement 2 correct. Lastly, the lands under this system were surveyed and assessed before being taxed, which confirms the accuracy of statement 3.

Therefore, all the three statements are correct.
