RAS question
Machiya Safari Park is in which city?
Correct answer: (D) Jodhpur.
Machiya Safari Park is located near Jodhpur in Rajasthan.
Explanation
Machiya Safari Park belongs with Jodhpur, not with the better-known wildlife or park sites attached to other Rajasthan cities. The official Rajasthan Tourism page lists Machiya Safari Park in its Jodhpur destination section and describes it as being 15 km from Jodhpur. This establishes Jodhpur as the correct city. Machiya Safari Park is known for desert wildlife such as desert foxes, hare, monitor lizards and migratory birds, while Rajasthan Tourism notes wildlife including mongoose, blue bulls and foxes. For RAS purposes, the decisive link is the place-city pairing: Machiya Safari Park equals Jodhpur.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Bikaner is associated here with Jorbeed, whereas the Rajasthan Tourism page places Machiya Safari Park under Jodhpur.
- (B) Udaipur is linked with Sajjangarh, but Machiya Safari Park is identified by Rajasthan Tourism as a Jodhpur destination.
- (C) Jaipur has Nahargarh, while Machiya Safari Park is listed by Rajasthan Tourism in the Jodhpur section and described as 15 km from Jodhpur.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan geography through the recurring RAS pattern of matching wildlife parks and local sites with their correct cities. Such questions recur because they check precise map awareness rather than broad tourist familiarity.
