RAS question

Jaisamand Wildlife Sanctuary is associated with which lake?

Correct answer: (C) Jaisamand.

Jaisamand Wildlife Sanctuary is associated with Jaisamand Lake in Udaipur.

  1. (A)

    Fateh Sagar

  2. (B)

    Pichola

  3. (C)

    Jaisamand

  4. (D)

    Rajsamand

Explanation

Jaisamand is the right answer because the sanctuary takes its association from Jaisamand Lake itself, not from Udaipur city's better-known urban lakes. The Rajasthan Tourism page for Jaisamand Lake places the lake in Udaipur and says it is close to Jaisamand Sanctuary. That matches the question's core clue: the wildlife sanctuary is linked with the lake of the same name. Rajasthan Tourism also identifies the sanctuary as habitat for birds, panthers, leopards, deer, wild boars and crocodiles. So, for RAS purposes, remember the paired fact as a location association: Jaisamand Sanctuary - Jaisamand Lake - Udaipur.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) Fateh Sagar is an Udaipur city lake, while the sanctuary in the question is linked to Jaisamand Lake.
  • (B) Pichola is also in Udaipur city, but Rajasthan Tourism connects Jaisamand Sanctuary with Jaisamand Lake.
  • (D) Rajsamand is a different lake-name association and does not match the Jaisamand Sanctuary clue.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan geography through lake-sanctuary association, a common RAS pattern because protected areas are often asked with their nearest or namesake physical feature. The trap is to separate Udaipur's city lakes from the Jaisamand lake-sanctuary pair.
