Q1. The Thar Desert comprises the desert triangle of which three cities? Choose the most appropriate option from below.
A Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Barmer
B Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Pali
C Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Barmer
D Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Bikaner Correct
Explanation
The desert triangle associated with the Thar Desert in Rajasthan is Jaisalmer, Jodhpur and Bikaner. These three cities lie in the western and north-western arid belt and are commonly used to identify the core desert region. Jaisalmer, Jodhpur and Barmer includes Barmer but leaves out Bikaner, so it does not match the printed key. Bikaner, Jaisalmer and Pali brings in Pali, which is not part of this desert triangle. Bikaner, Jaisalmer and Barmer again misses Jodhpur, an important city in the accepted triangle.
