The Faridabad division of Haryana is made up of which districts?
- A.Faridabad, Palwal and Nuh
- B.Faridabad, Palwal and Gurugram
- C.Faridabad, Nuh and Rewari
- D.Faridabad, Gurugram and Rewari
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is A, Faridabad, Palwal and Nuh. The Faridabad division, one of the two divisions created after the original four, is made up of these three districts of the south-east of the state, all of which lie in the National Capital Region. Option B replaces Nuh with Gurugram and Option D puts Gurugram and Rewari with Faridabad; Gurugram is in fact the headquarters of a division of its own, holding Gurugram, Rewari and Mahendragarh, so any option that places Gurugram under Faridabad is wrong. Option C pairs Faridabad and Nuh with Rewari, which belongs to the Gurugram division. The district that trips candidates here is Nuh, because it was created out of Gurgaon district in 2005 and the old link suggests, wrongly, that it must still sit in the Gurugram division. Remember instead that the Faridabad division holds the three districts of the state that lie south-east of Delhi.
