RAS question
Kakund River is in which district?
Correct answer: (D) Bharatpur.
Kakund River is in Bharatpur district, and Bandh Baretha Dam is built on it.
Explanation
Kakund River is associated with Bharatpur district. Rajasthan Foundation Bharatpur PDF describes Bharatpur as being drained by seasonal rivers including Ban Ganga, Rooparel, Kankud, Gambhir and Parvati, and then states that Bandh Baaretha Dam has been constructed on the Kakund River for drinking-water and irrigation purposes. Option D is therefore correct: the river-dam pairing belongs to Bharatpur, not to Jaipur, Kota or Alwar. The small spelling variation between Kankud and Kakund does not change the identification, because Bandh Baretha Dam is on the Kakund River.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Jaipur is not the district identified for Kakund River; Jaipur is associated instead with Banganga.
- (B) Kota is not supported by the Kakund-Bandh Baretha pairing; Kota is associated with the Chambal.
- (C) Alwar is not the district named for Kakund River; Alwar is associated with Ruparel.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan physical geography through river-dam-location pairing. Such questions recur in RAS because district-wise rivers and irrigation works are standard map-based facts.
