Which of the following districts belongs to the Udaipur division of Rajasthan?
- A.Bhilwara
- B.Sirohi
- C.Salumbar
- D.Tonk
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is C, Salumbar. Salumbar, one of the eight new districts retained after the review of December 2024, belongs to Udaipur division along with Udaipur, Banswara, Chittorgarh, Dungarpur, Pratapgarh and Rajsamand. Option A is wrong because Bhilwara, although a southern district close to Mewar, is placed in Ajmer division. Option B is wrong because Sirohi, in the south-west below the Aravalli range, belongs to Jodhpur division and not to Udaipur, which is one of the commonest traps in this topic. Option D is wrong because Tonk belongs to Ajmer division, not to Jaipur or Udaipur as candidates often assume from its position on the map. Salumbar was carved out of Udaipur district, which is why it stayed in Udaipur division, and the same logic places Beawar in Ajmer division and Balotra in Jodhpur division.
