Correct Answer: JaipurYour Answer: B

Explanation

Correct Answer: Option B — **Jaipur**. **Jaipur** is conventionally known as **“Pink City”**. The name is connected with the characteristic pink colour used across the historic walled city; its regional identity is Rajasthan, India. This combination of nickname, geographical setting and identifying feature makes Option B correct. Geographical epithets are conventional exam expressions rather than official administrative names, so the safest method is to memorise each epithet with its exact place and the physical, cultural or economic reason behind it. Why the other options are incorrect: Option A — **Mumbai**: This place is conventionally associated with **“Gateway of India”**, linked to its historic role as a major western seaport and entry point for maritime traffic. Option C — **Thailand**: This place is conventionally associated with **“Land of the White Elephant”**, linked to the historic royal and cultural importance of rare white elephants. Option D — **Australia**: This place is conventionally associated with **“Land of Kangaroos”**, linked to kangaroos being native animals and widely recognised symbols of Australia. Exam Takeaway: Remember **Pink City — Jaipur** for quick revision of **Geographical Epithets GK**.

Important Notes

  • **Epithet and place:** “Pink City” refers to Jaipur.
  • **Region:** Jaipur is associated here with Rajasthan, India.
  • **Reason:** The nickname reflects the characteristic pink colour used across the historic walled city.
