Red and yellow soil is found in which district of Rajasthan?

Answer: Red and yellow soils are found in Sawai Madhopur, Sirohi, Bhilwara, and Ajmer.

Why: These soils form due to intense weathering of crystalline and metamorphic rocks under warm, well-drained conditions. Oxidation of iron gives them their red and yellow colors.

• Typical locations: Eastern and southeastern Rajasthan, including Sawai Madhopur, Sirohi, Bhilwara, and Ajmer.

• Characteristics: Well-drained, loamy to sandy texture; rich in iron but often low in organic matter and nitrogen.

• Agricultural use: Suitable for pulses, millets, and oilseeds; fertility can be enhanced with organic inputs and proper management.

Note: Other options either include districts with different soil types or omit key areas where red and yellow soils are characteristic.
