RAS question

Which city of Rajasthan is located on the banks of the Chambal River?

Correct answer: (C) Kota.

Kota in Rajasthan is located on the banks of the Chambal River.

  1. (A)

    Jaipur

  2. (B)

    Bikaner

  3. (C)

    Kota

  4. (D)

    Ajmer

Explanation

Kota is directly associated with the Chambal River and stands on its banks. Rajasthan Tourism calls Kota "The Land of the Chambal" and states that Kota is situated on the banks of the Chambal River. Kota city lies on the Chambal, and the river flows through Kota division. Chittorgarh and Dholpur also help place the Chambal within Rajasthan, but among these four Rajasthan cities, Kota is the city tied to the riverbank location.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) Jaipur lies on the Dravyavati River, not on the Chambal River.
  • (B) Bikaner is a desert city with no major river, so it is not a city on the Chambal.
  • (D) Ajmer is not located on any major river, while Kota lies on the Chambal.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan river geography, especially the association of major cities and divisions with important rivers. Such location-based facts recur in RAS because they connect physical geography with district and regional identity.
