    Question

    Which of the following statements about Chhattisgarh's

    newly approved Guru Ghasidas-Tamor Pingla Tiger Reserve is incorrect?
    A The new tiger reserve will be the fourth in Chhattisgarh and the third largest in India. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B The reserve integrates Guru Ghasidas National Park and Tamor Pingla Sanctuary and covers five districts. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The tiger population in Chhattisgarh declined from 46 in 2014 to 17 in 2022. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The National Tiger Conservation Authority approved the reserve in 2021, but its notification was delayed due to environmental concerns. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Chhattisgarh’s other tiger reserves include Kanha Tiger Reserve, Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, and Ranthambore Tiger Reserve. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The correct answer is E because Kanha Tiger Reserve, Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, and Ranthambore Tiger Reserve are not located in Chhattisgarh; they are in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, respectively. The other options correctly reflect details about the Guru Ghasidas-Tamor Pingla Tiger Reserve and its context within Chhattisgarh.
