In which of the following states is alluvial soil found in abundance?

  • A.Uttar Pradesh
  • B.Himachal Pradesh
  • C.Tripura
  • D.Maharashtra

Answer: A

Alluvial soil is found in abundance in Uttar Pradesh, where the Indo-Gangetic plains are made of the silt brought down by the Ganga, the Yamuna and their tributaries. It is the most fertile soil and supports wheat, rice and sugarcane.

Himachal Pradesh has mountain soils, Tripura has mostly red and lateritic soils, and Maharashtra has black soil over the Deccan trap. So only Uttar Pradesh fits.
