RAS question
Nahargarh Biological Park is near which city?
Correct answer: (B) Jaipur.
Nahargarh Biological Park is near Jaipur, about 12 km from the city on the Jaipur-Delhi highway.
Explanation
Nahargarh Biological Park is identified with Jaipur, not with any other Rajasthan city in the options. Rajasthan Tourism describes it as part of Nahargarh sanctuary, located about 12 km from Jaipur on the Jaipur-Delhi highway and situated under the Aravalli range. That location matches the question's city cue. The park's identity is also tied to conservation: the official page calls it a place for conserving flora and fauna, educating people, and supporting research. Its wildlife context further reinforces the match, because the page notes more than 285 bird species and a zoological park with animals such as Asiatic lions, Bengal tigers, panthers, hyenas, wolves, deer, crocodiles, sloth bear, Himalayan black bear, and wild boar.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Ajmer is not the location indicated by Rajasthan Tourism; the official page places Nahargarh Biological Park about 12 km from Jaipur.
- (C) Udaipur does not match the cited location, and the given distractor note links Udaipur instead with Sajjangarh.
- (D) Jodhpur is ruled out because the official source places Nahargarh Biological Park near Jaipur, while the given distractor note associates Jodhpur with Machiya Safari Park.
Concept
This tests location-based mapping of Rajasthan's wildlife and tourism sites. Such questions recur in RAS because parks, sanctuaries, forts, and city associations are standard factual anchors in Rajasthan geography.
