Laterite soil in Rajasthan MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

Solve 1 Laterite soil in Rajasthan questions for RAS/RPSC preparation.

Practice questions

Q1Given below are two statements about laterite soil: Statement 1: Laterite soil is found in Dungarpur, the central and southern parts of Udaipur, and Rajsamand regions. Statement 2: It looks red due to the presence of iron. In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

A Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true.
B Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are false.
C Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false.
D Statement 1 is false but Statement 2 is true.
Explanation

Laterite soil in Rajasthan occurs mainly in the humid southern belt, including Dungarpur, parts of Udaipur, and Rajsamand, so the distribution statement is correct. Its red appearance is caused by iron oxides formed under intense leaching conditions, so the colour statement is also correct. The choices claiming that both statements are false, or that only one of the two statements is true, fail because neither the location detail nor the reason for the red colour is contradicted.
