Q178
Geography (incl. West Bengal)Environment, Wildlife & Disasters
Match the following:
List I (Wildlife Sanctuary)
I. Gir
II. Dachigam
III. Kaziranga
IV. Bandipur
List II (Location)
1. Assam
2. Uttar Pradesh
3. Gujarat
4. Karnataka
I II III IV
- a.3 2 1 4
- b.1 3 4 2
- c.2 1 3 4
- d.4 3 2 1
Answer: (A) 3 2 1 4
Gir in Gujarat is the last home of the Asiatic lion (I–3), Kaziranga in Assam is famous for the one-horned rhinoceros (III–1), and Bandipur is a tiger reserve in Karnataka next to Mudumalai and Nagarhole (IV–4). Only option (A) gives these three pairs, which leaves Dachigam with item 2. Dachigam is actually near Srinagar in Jammu & Kashmir, home of the hangul (Kashmir stag), not in Uttar Pradesh. As printed, no list entry gives Dachigam's true location, so the intended match is (A).
