The 'Chittorgarh' Fort has how many gates (pols)?

Explanation

Chittorgarh Fort is associated with seven gates, known locally as pols. The seven are Padan Pol, Bhairon Pol, Hanuman Pol, Ganesh Pol, Jorla Pol, Lakshman Pol and Ram Pol, with Ram Pol identified as the main gate. This matters because the question is not asking about entrances in a loose tourist sense; it is testing the standard historical enumeration of the fort's defensive gateways. Rajasthan Tourism provides the official Chittorgarh Fort context, and the exam-relevant list and count are seven named pols. Therefore, among the options, 7 is the only count that matches the accepted list of named pols.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) 10 is too high because the accepted list contains seven named pols, not ten.
• (C) 3 is too low because it leaves out most of the listed gates, including Ram Pol, Lakshman Pol, Jorla Pol and others.
• (D) 5 is also short of the standard enumeration, as the fort is counted with seven pols.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan fort architecture under History, Art and Culture, especially the factual identification of major forts and their defensive features. Such details recur in RAS because forts like Chittorgarh are repeatedly used to frame questions on Rajasthan's built heritage.
