Q341. Consider the following statements regarding the National Highways passing through Rajasthan: I. NH 27 connects the eastern and western ends of the country and passes through southern Rajasthan. II. The total length of National Highways in Rajasthan is less than 5,000 km. III. NH 11 (old numbering) is a critical route connecting Jaisalmer to Bikaner and further east. IV. Bharatmala Pariyojana bypasses Rajasthan completely to focus on coastal states. Which of the above combination of statements is incorrect?
Explanation
The length of National Highways in Rajasthan is significantly more than 5,000 km, and the Bharatmala Pariyojana has a major focus on the state, particularly regarding border connectivity. NH 27 is an important east-west route passing through southern Rajasthan. Misunderstandings regarding the total highway length or the exclusion of Rajasthan from national infrastructure projects like Bharatmala lead to incorrect assessments of the network.

Q344. Consider the following statements and select the correct answer from the options given below: Statement I: State highways form the primary arterial network linking district headquarters to the state capital and National Highways. Statement II: The Rajasthan State Highway Act regulates the declaration, construction, and maintenance of these highways.
Explanation
State highways in Rajasthan serve as arterial routes that connect district headquarters with the state capital and National Highways. While the Rajasthan State Highway Act provides the legal framework for their declaration and maintenance, the functions and legalities are distinct topics. Both statements correctly describe different aspects of state highways, but the regulatory act is not the primary reason for their arterial nature.

Q345. Consider the following statements regarding the rollout of 5G in urban Rajasthan: I. It requires a denser network of mobile towers and small cells compared to 4G. II. It facilitates ultra-reliable low latency communications suitable for remote surgery. III. The spectrum for 5G is entirely allocated free of cost to state operators in Rajasthan. IV.
