RAS question
What is Rajasthan's total road length as per Economic Review 2024-25?
Correct answer: (C) 3,17,121 km.
As per Rajasthan Economic Review 2024-25, Rajasthan's total road length is 3,17,121 km.
Explanation
Rajasthan Economic Review 2024-25 records the state's road network at 3,17,121 km. It also gives Rajasthan's road density as 92.66 km per 100 sq. km, so the figure is not a rounded estimate but the official review number tied to the state's infrastructure profile. Therefore, 3,17,121 km is the precise answer for the Economic Review 2024-25 total, not a broad approximation of road coverage or a target value.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) 4,00,000 km is higher than the Economic Review 2024-25 figure and does not match the recorded road network of 3,17,121 km.
- (B) 2,00,000 km understates Rajasthan's road network as recorded in Economic Review 2024-25.
- (D) 2,50,000 km is also below the official Economic Review 2024-25 total and appears to be an approximate distractor rather than the reported figure.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan Economy under infrastructure, especially road connectivity and state-level economic indicators. Such figures recur in RAS because Economic Review data is a direct source for factual prelims questions.
