In which one of the following states most villagers construct their wooden houses 3 to 3.5 m above the ground on strong bamboo pillars with sloping roofs ?
Answer: C
The houses described are typical of Assam.
Assam receives very heavy rainfall, and the Brahmaputra and its tributaries flood large areas every year. Villagers therefore build houses raised about 3 to 3.5 m above the ground on strong bamboo pillars, with sloping roofs to shed rain. Bamboo is plentiful there.
Rajasthan is dry, and its traditional houses are thick-walled mud or stone homes that keep out heat. Ladakh is a cold desert, with flat-roofed houses of stone and mud. Odisha is a coastal state, but raised bamboo houses of this kind are the classic description of Assam.
