RAS question
Udai Sagar Lake is in which district?
Correct answer: (B) Udaipur.
Udai Sagar Lake is in Udaipur district of Rajasthan.
Explanation
Udai Sagar Lake is in Udaipur district, not in any of the other listed districts. Rajasthan Tourism lists it among Udaipur city's 5 major lakes and places it about 13 kilometres east of the city. In 1559, during the reign of Maharana Udai Singh II, the founder of Udaipur, a dam was built on the Berach River to meet the kingdom's water needs; Udai Sagar Lake was formed by that dam. For RAS, remember the direct lake-district pairing: Udai Sagar Lake—Udaipur.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Bhilwara is a nearby district and may seem plausible, but Udai Sagar Lake is in Udaipur district.
- (C) Jodhpur is associated with Balsamand Lake, whereas Udai Sagar Lake is associated with Udaipur.
- (D) Jaipur has other lakes, but Udai Sagar Lake is in Udaipur, not Jaipur.
Concept
This question tests whether you can match Rajasthan's major lakes with their districts, rivers, and associated rulers. In RAS, such concise facts connect physical geography, tourism, and regional history.
