Q67

Consider the following description of the common houses built in a part of our country :
“Houses made of stones or wood with slanting roofs”.
This part is :

  1. (1) Assam
  2. (2) Ladakh
  3. (3) Rajasthan
  4. (4) Himachal PradeshCorrect answer

Solution.

CBSE answer: (4)

Answer: (4) Himachal Pradesh

  1. Himachal gets heavy rain and snow, so roofs slope to let water and snow slide off.
  2. Stone and wood are easily found in these hills and keep the house warm.
  3. Ladakh is a cold desert with little rain, so its stone and mud houses have flat roofs.

Trap: Ladakh also uses stone, but its roofs are flat, not slanting.
