The 'Hauz Khas' tank built for rain water conservation in the 14th century is located in:

  • A.Delhi
  • B.Chandigarh
  • C.Agra
  • D.Fatehpur Sikri

Answer: A

The Hauz Khas tank is in Delhi. It was built by Alauddin Khalji in the early 14th century as a reservoir (originally Hauz-i-Alai) to supply water to the then new city of Siri, and Firoz Shah Tughlaq later had it desilted and built his madrasa and tomb beside it.

Chandigarh, Agra and Fatehpur Sikri are not where this tank stands.
