Aravalli ranges, a well known feature of Rajasthan, runs in a __________ direction.

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  • A.North-West to North-East
  • B.South-West to South-East
  • C.North-East to South-West
  • D.South-East to South-West

Answer: C

The Aravalli range runs north-east to south-west.

The Aravallis stretch about 690 km in all, most of it diagonally across Rajasthan, from near Delhi in the north-east, through Khetri and Ajmer, to Mount Abu and on into Gujarat in the south-west. Guru Shikhar on Mount Abu is the highest peak.

Because the range lies parallel to the south-west monsoon winds, it does not block them, which is one reason western Rajasthan stays arid. The other directions given do not describe this diagonal alignment.
