Which is the largest district of Haryana in area?
- A.Bhiwani
- B.Sirsa
- C.Hisar
- D.Fatehabad
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is B, Sirsa. Sirsa, in the south-west of the state on the Punjab and Rajasthan borders, is the largest district of Haryana by area and also the least densely peopled. Option A, Bhiwani, is the answer a candidate remembers from an older book, and it was correct until Charkhi Dadri was carved out of Bhiwani in 2016; that division of the district reduced Bhiwani's area and moved Sirsa into first place, so the year 2016 changed the answer to this question. Option C, Hisar, is a large district of the same semi-arid belt and comes next to Sirsa in size, which makes it a plausible distractor. Option D, Fatehabad, was itself cut out of Hisar in 1997 and is much smaller. For the opposite question, Faridabad is the smallest district of Haryana in area.
