Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Isabgul

1. The horticulture section lists Gujarat's specialised processing strengths. 2. The state enjoys a monopoly in the processing of Isabgul. 3. Its onion dehydration industry is the biggest in the country, but that is a different product. 4.

Approximately what percentage of Gujarat's total geographical area was under forest in 2018-19?

  1. 20.0%
  2. 11.15%
  3. 8.71%
  4. 42.58%
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. 11.15%

1. The forest section gives the forest area of Gujarat. 2. Forest covered about 21859.22 sq.km., which is about 11.15% of the total geographical area. 3. The 8.71% figure is the area under sanctuaries and national parks, not total forest, so it is a trap. 4. The 42.58% figure is the urban share of population, unrelated to forest. 5. Therefore forest cover was about 11.15% of the geographical area. _Source: Socio-Economic Review 2019-20, Gujarat State (Directorate of Economics & Statistics), p.25_

Show answer and solution
