Q11. Jaipur was the biggest city in Rajasthan by population size in Census 2011, with about 30.46 lakh people. 2. Among Rajasthan cities and urban agglomerations of one lakh and above, Jaipur was followed by Jodhpur, Kota and Bikaner. 3. Banswara urban agglomeration had the lowest population size among the listed one-lakh-plus urban centres. 4. Jaipur was the only Rajasthan urban centre exceeding 10 lakh population in Census 2011. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1, 2 and 3 are correct. The Economic Review states that Jaipur, with 30.46 lakh population, was the biggest city, followed by Jodhpur, Kota and Bikaner, while Banswara urban agglomeration had the lowest population size among the listed centres. Statement 4 is incorrect because the corpus says Jodhpur and Kota also crossed the one-million threshold.
Q2As per the current administrative setup, how many total districts does Rajasthan have?
Option A (41) is correct. The Gehlot government created 19 new districts in August 2023, raising the total from 33 to 50, but the subsequent BJP government cancelled 9 of these by official notification in December 2024 per rajasthan.gov.in. The current official district count in Rajasthan is therefore 41, rendering option D (50) outdated.
Q3Which district of Rajasthan has the lowest population density?
Jaisalmer has the lowest population density in Rajasthan at approximately 17 persons per sq km (Census 2011). It is also the largest district by area, but most of it is desert.
Q4Consider the following statements: 1. Kota had the highest literacy rate in Rajasthan in Census 2011. 2. Jaipur's literacy rate in Census 2011 was higher than Jhunjhunu's literacy rate. 3. Sikar had a higher literacy rate than Jaipur in Census 2011. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. The cited order is Kota, Jaipur, Jhunjhunu and Sikar. Statement 3 is false because Sikar's cited literacy rate is lower than Jaipur's.
Q5Arrange the following Rajasthan districts in DESCENDING order of their literacy rates (Census 2011): 1. Kota 2. Jaipur 3. Jhunjhunu 4. Sikar
Correct descending order by literacy rate (Census 2011): Kota (76.6% — highest in state) > Jaipur (75.5%) > Jhunjhunu (74.1%) > Sikar (71.9%). The Shekhawati region (Jhunjhunu-Sikar) has historically high female literacy due to outmigration creating educated households. The lowest literacy district is Jalore (52.4%).
