The correct answer is Option (1) → Rajasthan
Rajasthan, with an area of about 3.42 lakh km2, is the largest state of India, a little over a tenth of the country’s area. Much of it is covered by the Thar Desert, west of the Aravalli hills.
Rajasthan became the largest state when Chhattisgarh was carved out of Madhya Pradesh in November 2000; Madhya Pradesh is now second, followed by Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh.
