RAS question

Which NH connects Jaipur to Delhi?

Correct answer: (B) NH-48 (new numbering).

NH-48, the new number for the old NH-8 route, connects Jaipur with Delhi via Gurgaon, Behror and Shahpura.

  1. (A)

    NH-8

  2. (B)

    NH-48 (new numbering)

  3. (C)

    NH-15

  4. (D)

    NH-11

Explanation

NH-48 is the present national-highway number for the route that earlier appeared as NH-8. It is the Delhi-Jaipur road via Gurgaon, Behror and Shahpura, continuing onward to Mumbai. The National Highways Authority of India press release refers to the Delhi-Jaipur section of NH 48 and describes the Delhi-Jaipur national highway as an important link between the national capital and Rajasthan's state capital. That is why, in current RAS geography usage, the expected answer is NH-48 rather than the old NH-8 label.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) NH-8 is the old numbering for this corridor, so it does not give the current national-highway number asked for in the option set.
  • (C) NH-15 is identified in the question data as a border highway, not the Delhi-Jaipur connector.
  • (D) NH-11 is identified in the question data with the Agra-Bikaner route, not the Delhi-Jaipur corridor.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan's transport geography, especially updated national-highway numbering after renumbering. It recurs in RAS because Jaipur-Delhi connectivity links Rajasthan's state capital with the national capital and appears often in map-based infrastructure questions.
