Red and yellow soil is found in which districts of Rajasthan?

Concept

A soil-distribution question is answered by matching a named soil group to its accepted regional extent, not merely by noticing one district where the soil may occur.

In Rajasthan, parent rock, relief, and drainage create overlapping soil zones, so an examination key may use a conventional district grouping for the distribution.

Application

For the RSSB Basic Computer Instructor 2022 paper, the accepted grouping for red and yellow soil is Sawai Madhopur–Sirohi–Bhilwara–Ajmer.

Contrast

• Sirohi–Ajmer–Tonk–Jaipur mixes the accepted Sirohi–Ajmer belt with Tonk and Jaipur, which are commonly classified with eastern alluvial or brown-soil zones.

• Sawai Madhopur–Kota–Bundi–Bhilwara includes Kota and Bundi, districts strongly associated with the black-soil zone of the Hadoti plateau.

• Ajmer–Sirohi–Dungarpur–Banswara includes Dungarpur and Banswara, districts more commonly associated with red-loamy soils of the Mahi basin.

• Sawai Madhopur–Sirohi–Bhilwara–Ajmer is the district grouping accepted in the source examination.

Cross-check

Reading the RSSB 118A master paper together with its final answer key, question 44 resolves to the district group Sawai Madhopur–Sirohi–Bhilwara–Ajmer.

Therefore, the answer is Sawai Madhopur–Sirohi–Bhilwara–Ajmer.
