Correct answer: B
Correct matching and brief justification:
Banswara — 23°51′ N (III). This latitude (~23.85° N) fits Banswara in southern Rajasthan.
Jaisalmer — 69°30′ E (II). The given longitude corresponds to the western Rajasthan region where Jaisalmer lies.
Dholpur — 78°17′ E (IV). This longitude (~78.3° E) matches Dholpur in eastern Rajasthan.
Ganganagar — 30°12′ N (I). This latitude (~30.2° N) fits Sri Ganganagar in northern Rajasthan.
Final answer: Banswara — 23°51′ N; Jaisalmer — 69°30′ E; Dholpur — 78°17′ E; Ganganagar — 30°12′ N.
How to verify quickly:
Use approximate latitudes to place districts north or south (higher latitude = farther north).
Use longitudes to distinguish eastern vs western districts within the state (higher longitude = farther east).
