Q4788. Coriander (Dhaniya) cultivation is predominantly concentrated in the southeastern districts of Rajasthan. What type of soil in this region supports its cultivation?

Coriander cultivation in southeastern Rajasthan is supported by the presence of heavy black soils, scientifically known as Vertisols.

The combination of fertile soils and favorable winter climate allows for large-scale commercial production. Rajasthan remains a leading producer of coriander.

Q4790. Given below are two statements, one labeled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R): Assertion (A): Despite high overall teledensity, a significant ‘digital divide’ exists between rural and urban areas in India. Reason (R): Urban areas have vastly superior internet infrastructure, affordability, and digital literacy compared to rural areas.
Explanation
Although India has achieved high teledensity, a significant digital divide persists because urban areas have much better internet infrastructure and higher levels of digital literacy. In many rural regions, connectivity is slower, and the cost of devices and data remains a barrier for many. Thus, the geographical disparity in infrastructure and socio-economic factors like affordability directly explains the uneven digital progress.
