Which is the largest state of India by area?
Answer: D
Correct answer: Rajasthan
Rajasthan is the largest state by area, about 342,000 square kilometres - roughly a tenth of India. Madhya Pradesh is second, Maharashtra third and Uttar Pradesh fourth. Rajasthan became the largest in 2000, when Madhya Pradesh was divided and Chhattisgarh created out of it. Much of it is arid: the Thar Desert occupies its western half, and the Aravalli range runs diagonally across it, separating the desert from the more fertile southeast. The Aravallis are among the oldest fold mountains in the world and act as a barrier that has kept the desert from advancing towards the Gangetic plain. By population the order is quite different, with Uttar Pradesh far the largest, followed by Maharashtra, Bihar and West Bengal. The smallest state by area is Goa, and the smallest by population is Sikkim.
