    192.5 acres.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Total area of farm the farmer had = 420 acre.

    Of these he did not plant full but only 7/12th of the total acres.

    Planted area with corn = 7/12 (420) = 245 acres

    Of these 245 acres, 3/14th was affected by crop and the remaining part would be healthy

    crop affected by disease = 3/14 (245) = 52.5 acres

    Hence healthy corns = area planted for corn-diseased part of area

    =245-52.5

    = 192.5 acres
