Q1. Which of the following statements is not correct about the dry teak forests of Rajasthan? Choose the most appropriate option.
A These forests are located in the southern and south-eastern parts of the state.
B In these areas, annual rainfall varies from 150-200 cm. Correct
C Generally, the height of the trees ranges between 9 and 13 metres.
D Teak wood is commercially useful and is used for making furniture, door panels, windows and house construction.
Explanation
Dry teak forests in Rajasthan occur mainly in the southern and south-eastern belt, so that location statement is correct. Their trees commonly reach about 9 to 13 metres, and teak is valued for furniture, door panels, windows and construction work. The rainfall statement is the incorrect one: dry teak forests are associated with much lower rainfall than 150-200 cm. Such a high rainfall range would fit wetter forest conditions, not Rajasthan’s dry teak belt. Therefore, the annual rainfall claim is the most appropriate incorrect statement.
