Q73

I am a tree of desert areas. I grow without much water. My wood is not affected by insects and bark is used for making medicine. Guess, who am I ? Choose the correct answer from the following.

  1. (1) Desert Oak
  2. (2) Khejadi treeCorrect answer
  3. (3) Date Palm
  4. (4) Acacia

Solution.

CBSE answer: (2)

Answer: (2) Khejadi tree

  1. The khejadi grows in the deserts of Rajasthan and needs very little water.
  2. Its wood is not attacked by insects, and its bark is used to make medicines.
  3. It is the tree the Bishnoi community protects.

Trap: (3) Date palm is also a desert tree, but the clues about insect-proof wood and medicinal bark point to khejadi.
