Population, tribes, urbanisation and tourism of Rajasthan MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

One should learn tribal geography through community-to-region mapping. Bhils are associated with southern Rajasthan, especially Banswara, Dungarpur, Pratapgarh and Udaipur. Meenas are associated more with eastern Rajasthan, including Sawai Madhopur, Karauli, Dausa, Jaipur and Tonk. Saharia is Rajasthan's only Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group, with its core area in Baran district, especially Kishanganj and Shahabad. Beneshwar Mela is linked with Dungarpur at the Som-Mahi-Jakham confluence and is called the Tribal Kumbh of Rajasthan.

Census 2011 recorded Rajasthan's population at about 6.85 crore and its density at 200 persons per sq km, so the first statement is correct. The comparison in the second statement is the trap. India had a density of 382 persons per sq km, while Rajasthan remained a relatively low-density state because the arid west and the Thar Desert reduce carrying capacity. Therefore only the population-density statement is correct.

The tourism institutions section states that the Rajasthan State Tourism Development Corporation was established in 1979. Its role is linked with tourism hotels, package tours, transport, fairs promotion and Palace on Wheels operations. Palace on Wheels itself began service in 1982, but that year is not the corporation's establishment year. The 2020 reference belongs to the Tourism Policy, which gave tourism industry status and grouped destinations into circuits. Therefore the correct description must combine 1979 with the corporation's tourism-service functions.

Tribe questions usually test community-to-region mapping. Bhils are associated with southern Rajasthan, especially Banswara, Dungarpur, Pratapgarh and Udaipur. Meenas are associated more with eastern Rajasthan, including Sawai Madhopur, Karauli, Dausa, Jaipur and Tonk. Saharia is Rajasthan's only Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group, with its core in Baran, especially Kishanganj and Shahabad. Garasias are linked with Sirohi, Pali and the Aravalli edge of Udaipur. This gives the sequence 1-b, 2-c, 3-a, 4-d.

Rajasthan's urban share in Census 2011 was 24.89%, below India's 31.16%, and that urban growth was selective. In that pattern, Jaipur dominated as the capital and largest urban agglomeration, while Jodhpur and Kota also crossed the 10-lakh mark. Bikaner, Ajmer, Udaipur, Bharatpur and similar cities formed the next layer of Class I cities. Therefore the correct 10-lakh-plus set is Jaipur, Jodhpur and Kota.
