Mukundra Hills Tiger Reserve is located across which districts of Rajasthan?

Explanation

Mukundra Hills Tiger Reserve is a four-district tiger reserve in south-eastern Rajasthan, so the full district set matters. The official Gazette notification states that the reserve is situated in Ladpura, Sangod and Ramganjmandi tehsils of Kota district, Jhalarapatan tehsil of Jhalawar district, Talera tehsil of Bundi district and Rawatbhat tehsil of Chittorgarh district. It also records that Mukundara Hills Tiger Reserve was constituted in 2013 and includes Mukundara Hills National Park, Dara Sanctuary, Jawahar Sagar Sanctuary and part of National Chambal Ghariyal Sanctuary. Therefore, the option listing Kota, Bundi, Chittorgarh and Jhalawar is the only complete match.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Alwar and Jaipur are not listed in the official district description of Mukundra Hills Tiger Reserve.
• (B) Kota and Bundi are part of the reserve, but this option leaves out Chittorgarh and Jhalawar, so it is incomplete.
• (D) Udaipur and Rajsamand do not appear in the official district spread of Mukundra Hills Tiger Reserve.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan protected-area geography, especially the district spread of major tiger reserves. Such location-based facts recur in RAS because wildlife reserves link geography, environment and Rajasthan-specific administration.
