RAS question

What is the total length of National Highways in Rajasthan?

Correct answer: (A) 10,790 km.

Rajasthan has 10,790 km of National Highways.

  1. (A)

    10,790 km

  2. (B)

    17,376 km

  3. (C)

    8,500 km

  4. (D)

    12,000 km

Explanation

Rajasthan's total National Highway length is 10,790 km, as listed in the Government of Rajasthan's Economic Review 2024-25. Rajasthan's State Highways separately total 17,376 km, and its Village Roads total 2,06,318 km, so category confusion matters more than arithmetic. National Highways are a distinct road class, and the relevant Rajasthan figure is 10,790 km, not the State Highway or village-road totals. The Government of Rajasthan's Economic Review 2024-25 places the figure in a transport-infrastructure context, immediately after references to National Highway development under NHDP and Bharatmala Pariyojana.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (B) 17,376 km is the length given for Rajasthan's State Highways, not its National Highways.
  • (C) 8,500 km is below Rajasthan's National Highway figure of 10,790 km and does not match the State Highway or Village Road totals.
  • (D) 12,000 km overstates the cited National Highway length, which the review gives as 10,790 km.

Concept

Rajasthan Economy infrastructure facts require careful classification of roads by administrative category. Transport infrastructure remains a standard marker of state development and budget-review awareness in RAS preparation.
