Ranthambore Tiger Reserve is located in which district?

Explanation

Ranthambore Tiger Reserve is associated with Sawai Madhopur, not Rajasthan's larger urban centres such as Jaipur, Jodhpur or Udaipur. The reserve is placed in Sawai Madhopur district, while Rajasthan Tourism's official Ranthambore page describes Ranthambore National Park and Tiger Reserve as located 14 kilometres from Sawai Madhopur. Rajasthan Tourism presents it as one of the best-known wilderness areas for tiger sightings and a major draw for tourists and naturalists. For a RAS geography question, the key is therefore the district-location pairing: Ranthambore Tiger Reserve maps to Sawai Madhopur.

Why the other options are wrong

• (B) Jodhpur is not the correct location; Rajasthan Tourism's Ranthambore page links the reserve to Sawai Madhopur.
• (C) Jaipur is only mentioned by Rajasthan Tourism in accessibility context, whereas Ranthambore itself is placed near Sawai Madhopur.
• (D) Udaipur is a different Rajasthan district and is not the location of Ranthambore Tiger Reserve.

Concept

This tests the RAS geography habit of matching Rajasthan's protected areas with their correct districts. Such location pairs recur because reserves, parks and sanctuaries are standard static-GK anchors in Rajasthan geography.
