Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. MaharashtraA. महाराष्ट्र
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Maharashtra.
According to the source, Matheran is located in the Western Ghats in the Raigad district of Maharashtra at an elevation of approximately 2,625 feet above sea level.
The book describes Matheran as the 'cutest hill station of India' and explains that the name Matheran means 'Forest on the forehead'.
It also states that the area has been declared an eco-sensitive region by the Indian Government and describes it as Asia's only automobile-free hill station.
These details make the question useful for geography, tourism and environmental Static GK.
The direct association required is Matheran — Raigad district — Maharashtra — Western Ghats.
This question repeats the basic Matheran-state association that appeared earlier in the book, but the present explanation provides additional information.
For exam preparation, students should use the repetition to strengthen recall rather than discard the question.
The elevation of around 2,625 feet, eco-sensitive status and automobile-free description are supplementary facts explicitly provided by the source.
Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu also contain elevated or hill regions, but they are not the state identified for Matheran in this question.
Since hill-station questions can ask the state, district or mountain region, learning the complete location is valuable.
For revision, remember: Matheran — Maharashtra — Raigad district — Western Ghats — approximately 2,625 feet — eco-sensitive region — described by the source as Asia's only automobile-free hill station.
Therefore option (a), Maharashtra, is correct.
सही उत्तर महाराष्ट्र है। स्रोत के अनुसार Matheran महाराष्ट्र के Raigad district में Western Ghats पर स्थित है और इसकी ऊंचाई समुद्र तल से लगभग 2,625 feet बताई गई है। पुस्तक Matheran को 'cutest hill station of India' कहती है और बताती है कि Matheran का अर्थ 'Forest on the forehead' है। स्रोत यह भी बताता है कि इसे Indian Government द्वारा eco-sensitive region घोषित किया गया है और इसे Asia's only automobile-free hill station के रूप में वर्णित करता है। इसलिए यह प्रश्न Geography, Tourism और Environmental Static GK तीनों के लिए उपयोगी है। सीधे प्रश्न के लिए मुख्य association है: Matheran — Raigad district — Maharashtra — Western Ghats। Matheran और Maharashtra का basic association पुस्तक में पहले भी आ चुका है, लेकिन वर्तमान प्रश्न की explanation अधिक अतिरिक्त facts देती है। इसलिए repetition को हटाने के बजाय revision के लिए उपयोग करना चाहिए। लगभग 2,625 feet की elevation, eco-sensitive status और automobile-free description सभी source में दिए supplementary facts हैं। Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka और Tamil Nadu में भी hill regions हैं, लेकिन इस प्रश्न में Matheran का सही state Maharashtra है। Hill-station questions में state, district या mountain region में से कुछ भी पूछा जा सकता है, इसलिए complete location याद रखना बेहतर है। Revision chain: Matheran — Maharashtra — Raigad — Western Ghats — ~2,625 feet — eco-sensitive — source के अनुसार Asia's only automobile-free hill station। इसलिए विकल्प (a), महाराष्ट्र, सही है।
