Q1Who was the last official ruler of the princely state of Bundi?

A Maharao Raja Ram Singh
B Maharao Raja Bahadur Singh
C Maharao Raja Raghubir Singh
D Maharao Raja Ishwari Singh
Explanation

Maharao Raja Bahadur Singh was the last official ruler associated with the princely state of Bundi before the princely order was absorbed into the new political structure after independence. Ram Singh and Raghubir Singh were earlier rulers in Bundi's line and do not fit the final-ruler position. Ishwari Singh is not the Bundi ruler identified by this last official status. The question is about the closing phase of the princely state, so Bahadur Singh is the name that matches the official key and the historical sequence.

Q2At the time of India's Independence, how many riyasats were there in present-day Rajasthan, the Rajputana region? Choose the most appropriate option from below.

A 19
B 21
C 25
D 29
Explanation

At Independence, the area that became present-day Rajasthan was mainly the Rajputana region. It contained 19 princely states, known in common exam language as riyasats. This count is central to questions on the integration of Rajasthan. The figures 21, 25 and 29 overstate the number of riyasats asked for in the question; they may arise from mixing in other administrative units or later stages of merger, but they are not the standard count of princely states in Rajputana at Independence.
