Consider the following description of the common houses built in a part of our country :

"Houses made of stones or wood with slanting roofs".

This part is :

  • A.Assam
  • B.Ladakh
  • C.Rajasthan
  • D.Himachal Pradesh

Answer: D

This part is Himachal Pradesh.

In the hills of Himachal Pradesh, houses are commonly built of stone and wood, materials that are locally available and keep out the cold. The roofs slope steeply so that rain and snow slide off instead of collecting on top.

Ladakh is a cold desert with very little rain or snowfall, so its houses traditionally have flat roofs, used for drying crops. Houses in Rajasthan's dry desert also tend to have flat roofs and thick mud or stone walls. In Assam's heavy rains, many houses are built on bamboo stilts.
