Q1According to Rajasthan's Census 2011 district PCA, which district pair correctly represents the highest and lowest Scheduled Tribes population?

A Udaipur: 15,25,289; Jaisalmer: 7,779
B Banswara: 15,25,289; Sirohi: 7,779
C Jaipur: 15,25,289; Bikaner: 7,779
D Udaipur: 15,25,289; Bikaner: 7,779
Explanation

The district PCA fact identifies Udaipur as having the highest Scheduled Tribes population at 15,25,289 and Bikaner as having the lowest at 7,779. Pairing Udaipur with Jaisalmer changes the lowest district, pairing Jaipur with Bikaner changes the highest district, and pairing Banswara with Sirohi changes both the district identities being tested.

Q2Match the Rajasthan Census 2011 rural district PCA entries for literates: Districts: Jaipur; Jaisalmer. Counts: 1,807,604; 249,289. Which matching is correct?

A Jaipur - 1,807,604; Alwar - 249,289
B Jaipur - 1,807,604; Jaisalmer - 249,289
C Kota - 1,807,604; Jaisalmer - 249,289
D Jaipur - 249,289; Jaisalmer - 1,807,604
Explanation

The correct matching is Jaipur with 1,807,604 rural literates and Jaisalmer with 249,289 rural literates. The reversed counts swap the high and low ends, while the Alwar and Kota pairings replace one of the two districts named in the sourced Census fact.

Q3Match the Rajasthan Census 2011 district PCA literacy-rate entry with the correct district. List I: Highest literacy rate, Lowest literacy rate. List II: Kota, Jalor. Which code is correct?

A Highest literacy rate - Jalor; Lowest literacy rate - Kota
B Highest literacy rate - Kota; Lowest literacy rate - Dungarpur
C Highest literacy rate - Jhunjhunun; Lowest literacy rate - Jalor
D Highest literacy rate - Kota; Lowest literacy rate - Jalor
Explanation

The correct matching is highest literacy rate with Kota at 76.56% and lowest literacy rate with Jalor at 54.86%. Reversing Kota and Jalor contradicts the cited figures. Pairing the lowest literacy rate with Dungarpur or the highest literacy rate with Jhunjhunun brings in districts that are not the highest-lowest literacy-rate pair in this fact.

Q4In the Census 2011 state and Union Territory PCA rows, which Rajasthan entry is correctly stated for Scheduled Castes population?

A 13th rank, 43.60%
B 7th rank, 2.99 crore persons
C 7th rank, 1.22 crore persons
D 8th rank, 1.22 crore persons
Explanation

Rajasthan ranked 7th by Scheduled Castes population, with 1.22 crore persons in the Census 2011 state/UT PCA rows. The 8th-rank figure belongs to the workers fact, 2.99 crore is the total-workers count rather than Scheduled Castes population, and 43.60% is the work participation rate, not an SC population count.

Q5Match the Rajasthan Census 2011 district PCA entries for population aged 0-6: Highest district | Lowest district Which matched pair is correct?

A Jaipur at 929,926 | Bikaner at 130,463
B Jaisalmer at 929,926 | Jaipur at 130,463
C Jaipur at 929,926 | Jaisalmer at 130,463
D Jaipur at 130,463 | Jaisalmer at 929,926
Explanation

The correct matching is Jaipur with 929,926 for the highest population aged 0-6 and Jaisalmer with 130,463 for the lowest. The reversed Jaipur-Jaisalmer pairing swaps the figures, the Jaisalmer-Jaipur pairing gives the highest status to the wrong district, and the Bikaner pairing wrongly replaces Jaisalmer as the lowest district.
