RAS question
RSRDC stands for:
Correct answer: (B) Rajasthan State Road Development Corp.
RSRDC stands for Rajasthan State Road Development and Construction Corporation.
Explanation
RSRDC expands to Rajasthan State Road Development and Construction Corporation. The cited Rajasthan eProcurement tender page supports this by repeatedly using RSRDC in the tender identifiers and payment/contact fields, while the tender title describes work for the “Rajasthan State Road Development and Construction Corporation Limited” at Setu Bhawan, Jhalana Doongari, Jaipur. That pairing confirms that the abbreviation is not a generic social, science, or revenue body; it refers to the state corporation connected with road development and construction. In the MCQ, option B is the only choice that matches this institutional meaning, though the fuller official form includes “and Construction Corporation.”
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Rajasthan Social Reform does not match the cited tender context, which links RSRDC to road development and construction, not social reform.
- (C) Rajasthan Science Research is unrelated to the source, where RSRDC appears in a tender for the Rajasthan State Road Development and Construction Corporation Limited.
- (D) Rajasthan State Revenue would point to revenue administration, whereas the verified source identifies the body as a road development and construction corporation.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan administrative abbreviations, especially state corporations and agencies that appear in official notices and departmental documents. Such acronyms recur in RAS because governance questions often expect candidates to recognise institutions from their official usage.
