RAS question

Sariska Tiger Reserve is located in which district of Rajasthan?

Correct answer: (B) Alwar.

Sariska Tiger Reserve is located in Alwar district of Rajasthan.

  1. (A)

    Sawai Madhopur

  2. (B)

    Alwar

  3. (C)

    Udaipur

  4. (D)

    Kota

Explanation

Sariska Tiger Reserve is in Alwar district because the Rajasthan Forest Department's protected-area table lists Sariska Tiger Reserve under Tiger Reserves and records Alwar as its district. The reserve is part of the Aravalli Hills, so its geography is not just a wildlife fact but a Rajasthan-location fact: candidates must link Sariska with Alwar rather than with another well-known protected-area district. Sariska covers about 866 sq km, and tigers were reintroduced here in 2008 after local extinction, which is why Sariska often appears in coverage of tiger reserves, protected areas and conservation in Rajasthan.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) Sawai Madhopur is associated with Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve, while Sariska Tiger Reserve is in Alwar district.
  • (C) Udaipur is associated with other reserves and sanctuaries in Rajasthan, but Sariska Tiger Reserve is in Alwar district.
  • (D) Kota is associated with other tiger reserves such as Mukundara Hills and Ramgarh Vishdhari, while Sariska Tiger Reserve is in Alwar district.

Concept

Rajasthan's protected areas require map-based recall, especially tiger reserves and their districts. RAS frequently covers wildlife reserves because they combine geography, environment and state-specific factual mapping.
