Correct answer: A
A. 36
Explanation:
Sawai Jai Singh II (ruled 1699–1743 CE) established these 36 Karkhanas (royal workshops/factories) during the late Mughal period, before major British political expansion in India. He founded Jaipur in 1727 CE and developed it as a planned city with strong administrative and economic systems.
These Karkhanas were state-run workshops created to support:
* textile production (weaving, dyeing, printing, tailoring),
* handicrafts and luxury goods, and
the needs of the *royal court and army**.
Because 36 such Karkhanas are recorded in historical and Rajasthan GK sources, 36 is the accepted answer.
