RAS question

Kumbalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary is spread across which districts?

Correct answer: (D) Udaipur, Rajsamand, Pali.

Kumbalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary is spread across Udaipur, Rajsamand and Pali districts of Rajasthan.

  1. (A)

    Rajsamand and Pali

  2. (B)

    Udaipur only

  3. (C)

    Pali only

  4. (D)

    Udaipur, Rajsamand, Pali

Explanation

Kumbalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary is a multi-district protected area, so the complete district set matters. The Rajasthan Forest Department's official list of national parks and sanctuaries records "Kumbalgarh WL Sanctuary" with its district field as Udaipur, Rajsamand and Pali, confirming that it is not confined to one district or even two districts. The sanctuary is associated with wolves, leopards and sloth bears, and is also known in RAS geography for its link with the Kumbhalgarh Fort wall. Udaipur, Rajsamand and Pali is therefore the full district spread.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) Rajsamand and Pali are part of the sanctuary's spread, but Udaipur is also part of the district spread recorded by the official Rajasthan Forest Department table for Kumbalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary.
  • (B) Udaipur alone is too narrow because the official district entry for Kumbalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary includes Rajsamand and Pali as well.
  • (C) Pali alone is incorrect because Kumbalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary spans Udaipur, Rajsamand and Pali districts.

Concept

RAS protected-area geography includes the district spread of wildlife sanctuaries. Sanctuary-location facts often connect map locations with biodiversity and tourism cues.
