Rajasthan is an agriculture based state where 70% of the population is dependent upon farming. Agriculture holds a significant position in the state’s economy where half of the state income comes from agriculture and its allied activities. Irrigation is very important in agricultural production. There is a lack of groundwater sources in the state.

• Gross Domestic Product : It is a monetary measure of the market value of all final goods and services produced in a period (quarterly or yearly) of time. Nominal GDP estimates are commonly used to determine the economic performance of an entire country or region, and to make international comparisons. 
• Net Domestic Product : It accounts for capital that has been consumed over the year in the form of housing, vehicle, or machinery deterioration. The depreciation accounted for is often referred to as “capital consumption allowance” and it represents the amount of capital that would be needed to replace those depreciated assets.

To make the economy of a state strong, development of forest and water resources is essential. If a state has more number of forests then this forest wealth makes the economy stronger. From forests, timber wood, fuel, grass, bamboo, honey and wax, catechu, tendu leaves, khus etc. are obtained, which increases the national income. Due to the forests, the moisture in the oxygen remains neutral, which decreases the pollution. Nothing is possible without water. When the resources will be in the exact quantity, than only agriculture can take place. India is an agriculture based economy, and agriculture can only be performed with proper water resources. Drought and famine are normal in the state due to scarcity of water.

The rain water must be collected to increase the water resources, because Rajasthan does not have any such river which can fulfill all these needs. Therefore, the state is dependent upon rain only. Productivity will be better on the availability of water resources, by which income of the state will increase. Forests also promote tourism. By this, foreign exchange is obtained even without exports, which is a good source of income for an economy. Forest and water resources can also said to be complementary to each other, because if forests are more, rainfall will be more, by which water resources will increase, and finally, the economy will strengthen by increase in both of these.

To make the economy of a state strong, development of mineral resources is a must . Iron, steel, cement, coal, petrol, diesel, aluminium, fertilizers etc. are beneficial just like a milestone in the state’s economy. Every mineral is used as a raw material in the industry, and on the other hand, it also increases the state’s revenue and employment level. In the mineral industry of the state, about 5 lakh people are employed either directly or indirectly. From the viewpoint of cost of production, it is at the 5th position in India.

Currently, Rajasthan is the only producer of Jasper and Wollastonite. The state ranks at number one in the country in the production of Lead, Zinc Ore, Tungston Ore, Phosphorite, Asbestos, Calsite, Bone China, Feldspar, Garnet, Silver Ore, Soapstone etc. At the prevailing rates, earning from minerals in 1991-92 was INR 511 crore, which increased to INR 21750 crore in 2013-14.

Oil, coal, natural gas are the backbone of economy. In this world, life largely depends upon various natural resources. In India, the progress of states like Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, Maharashtra also depends upon such natural resources.

Answer is: (a) 4

The role of natural resources is very important for the development of any economy. Agriculture is the lifeline of Rajasthan’s economy. The form of crops in any area depends on source of irrigation, means of transportation, population density and nature of soil. Crop production is done while keeping in mind the status or type of soil, rain and climate. Land is used as a primary source in an economy. The area that has fertile land and where water supply is in accurate amount, the yield of crops is good there, which will help in the increment of national income. Because if the crops of any state is better than the crops of any other states, than it can be bought from different states, and thus there comes no need to import it from the other country.

Most of the people of the state are dependent upon agriculture. Due to the yielding land, they do not go towards the city. They are dependent upon agriculture for their livelihood. Companies and factories can also be established in those states which have abundant water resources. Without water resources, it is even not possible to perform agriculture, which can weaken the state’s economy. Fertile land and water resources are essential requisites for the development of a state. Due to fertile land and availability of abundant water resources, states such as Punjab and Haryana are green and their economy is also strong. While in Rajasthan, most of the part being a desert, more than 50% of the land is infertile and water resources are also less. Due to this, economy of Rajasthan is weak and only a few crops are grown here. It is clear from the above discussion, that the economy of a state strengthens by the presence of fertile land and availability of water resources.

Natural resources include all those resources received from nature which are present in the nearby physical environment of the human being. The form, level and development of any economy depend on the quantity of its geographical and natural resources, diversity, quality and its capability to utilize such resources. Industries get raw materials through mineral resources. Oil, coal, natural gas are the backbone of economy.

In this world, life depends largely upon natural resources. Countries like America, Britain, France, Germany etc. also depend on natural resources. In India, the progress of states like Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, Maharashtra also depends upon such natural resources. State’s climate, land forest, water and mineral resources decide the state and course of industrial development, which foresightedly effects the employment and income of the state. The state’s economic development is ensured by quantitative and qualitative usage of resources. By proper utilization of natural resources, hitting the next pedestal of development becomes easier.

Salt water lakes include Sambhar lake (Jaipur), Didwana lake (Nagaur), Lunkaransar Lake (Barmer). Sambhar has a central salt production unit known as Sambhar Salt Limited.

Forest plays a very important part in a state’s economy. In India, the progress of states like Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, Maharashtra also depends upon such natural resources. Timber wood, fuel, grass, bamboo, catechu, tendu leaves, khus, etc. obtained from forests provide economic contribution to the states. The state’s economic development is ensured by quantitative and qualitative usage of natural resources. Forests promote tourism and that results in increase of foreign currency earning without exports.

In Sirohi district is Guru Shikhar mountain situated.

Jwar, Bean, Maize, Millet, Green bean etc.

10.41% percentage of total geographical area of India is Rajasthan.

Correct Option (a) 1 : 1 

Explanation: 

Kinetic energy per degree of freedom = 1/2 kT

As diatomic gas possess two degree of freedom for rotational motion therefore rotational

K.E. = 2(1/2kT) = kT

In the problem both gases (oxygen and nitrogen) are diatomic and have same temperature (300 K) therefore ratio of average rotational kinetic energy will be equal to one. 

Correct Option (c) 2v

Explanation: 

v_rms √3RT/M . According to problem T will becomes T/2 and M will becomes M/2 so the value of v_rms  will increase by √4 = 2 times i.e. new root mean square velocity will be 2v.
