Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
B
Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
C
(A) is true, but (R) is false.
D
(A) is false, but (R) is true.
Explanation
🌟 Quick Verification
- Direct Answer: The correct answer is Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).

- The Aravalli region covers 10% of the total area of Rajasthan.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
A
Only 1 and 2
B
Only 2 and 3
C
Only 1 and 3
D
1, 2, and 3
Explanation
🌟 Quick Verification
- Direct Answer: The correct answer is Only 1 and 2.

- The Eastern Plains (Purvi Maidan) encompasses 23% of the area and hosts 39% of the total population, reflecting its high agricultural productivity and water availability.
- The Aravalli region covers 9% of the total area of the state, not 10%. The figure 10% actually refers to the population share of the Aravalli region.
📊 Fact Spotlight
| Region | Area (%) | Population (%) | Significance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Desert | 61.11% | 40% | Largest, Sparse population density |
| Aravalli | 9% | 10% | Mineral-rich zone |
| Plains | 23% | 39% | High fertility, High population density |
