Which one of the following statements is not true about the houses of Srinagar in Kashmir?

  • A.The old houses here are made of stone, bricks and wood.
  • B.Some old houses have special type of windows which come out of the wall. These are called 'dab'.
  • C.Houseboats on Dal Lake are one of the attractions of Srinagar.
  • D.Many families in Srinagar live in 'Dongas' which are built in hilly areas.

Answer: D

The statement that is not true is that many families in Srinagar live in 'Dongas' built in hilly areas.

Dongas are boats: families who live on Dal Lake and the river in Srinagar make their homes in these boat houses on the water, not in buildings in the hills.

The other statements are true. Old houses in Srinagar are built of stone, brick and wood, some have windows that jut out from the wall, called 'dab', and the houseboats on Dal Lake are among the city's best-known sights.
