RAS question
Bhilwara in Rajasthan is famous for which industry?
Correct answer: (B) Textile.
Bhilwara in Rajasthan is famous for the textile industry, especially synthetic and blended textile manufacturing.
Explanation
Bhilwara is identified with textiles rather than with a generic industrial label. It is called the Textile City of Rajasthan because of its role in synthetic and blended textile manufacturing. Rajasthan Tourism presents Bhilwara as the Land of Textiles and describes it as famous as the city of textiles and looms. That is why, among the four choices, Textile is the only option that matches Bhilwara's recognised economic identity. The question is not asking for a tourist site or a general district feature; it is testing the standard Rajasthan-economy mapping between an industrial centre and its best-known industry.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Salt points to Sambhar, while Rajasthan Tourism identifies Bhilwara with textiles and looms.
- (C) Gems and Jewellery is associated with Jaipur, not with Bhilwara's textile-centred identity.
- (D) Cement is linked to districts such as Chittorgarh and Banswara, whereas Bhilwara is presented as a textile centre.
Concept
This tests the Rajasthan economy theme of district-wise industrial specialisation. It recurs in RAS because such one-district, one-industry associations are a compact way to test economic geography and state-specific factual awareness.
