RAS question
Sajjangarh Wildlife Sanctuary is adjacent to which city?
Correct answer: (A) Udaipur.
Sajjangarh Wildlife Sanctuary is adjacent to Udaipur.
Explanation
Sajjangarh Wildlife Sanctuary is linked with Udaipur because the sanctuary setting surrounds the Monsoon Palace there. The official Incredible India page for Sajjangarh Biological Park places it in Udaipur, Rajasthan, in the Aravalli hills, and says the park is adjacent to Sajjangarh Palace, also known as the Monsoon Palace. The sanctuary area around the Monsoon Palace is associated with Udaipur and its wildlife, including nilgai, sambar, wild boar and langurs. For RAS, the point is not a generic wildlife fact but the city-location pairing: Sajjangarh goes with Udaipur, not with the better-known protected or wildlife sites near other Rajasthan cities.
Why the other options are wrong
- (B) Jodhpur is not the Sajjangarh pairing; Machiya is associated with Jodhpur, while Sajjangarh is tied to Udaipur and the Monsoon Palace setting.
- (C) Jaipur is excluded because its comparable city-linked wildlife landmark is Nahargarh, whereas Sajjangarh is in Udaipur.
- (D) Kota does not fit because Mukundra is associated with Kota, while Sajjangarh Wildlife Sanctuary is associated with Udaipur.
Concept
RAS tests Rajasthan geography through protected-area-to-city mapping. Such pairings recur in RAS because they are compact factual links between tourism, wildlife and regional geography.
