The headquarters of which district of Haryana is at Narnaul?
- A.Rewari
- B.Mahendragarh
- C.Bhiwani
- D.Charkhi Dadri
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is B, Mahendragarh. Mahendragarh is the one district of Haryana whose headquarters does not sit in the town after which the district is named: its administration works from Narnaul, while Mahendragarh town is a tehsil headquarters within the same district. This single mismatch is the favourite trap of the chapter and is worth memorising on its own. Option A, Rewari, is run from Rewari town, and the district was itself carved out of Mahendragarh in 1989, which is why the two names are offered together. Option C, Bhiwani, is administered from Bhiwani town, and Option D, Charkhi Dadri, from Charkhi Dadri town. All three wrong options are districts of the same southern belt of the state, placed here to make the question look like one about the Ahirwal region rather than about headquarters.
