Correct Answer: JodhpurYour Answer: C

Explanation

Correct Answer: Option C — **Jodhpur**. **Jodhpur** is conventionally known as **“Blue City”**. The name is connected with the blue-painted houses visible in its old city near Mehrangarh Fort; its regional identity is Rajasthan, India. This combination of nickname, geographical setting and identifying feature makes Option C 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 — **Bengaluru**: This place is conventionally associated with **“Silicon Valley of India”**, linked to its concentration of information-technology companies, startups and research institutions. Remembering its actual epithet and regional identity—Karnataka, India—explains the precise difference from the epithet asked in the question. Option B — **Bhutan**: This place is conventionally associated with **“Land of the Thunder Dragon”**, linked to its indigenous name Druk Yul, commonly translated as Land of the Thunder Dragon. Remembering its actual epithet and regional identity—Eastern Himalayas—explains the precise difference from the epithet asked in the question. Option D — **Peru**: This place is conventionally associated with **“Land of the Incas”**, linked to the Inca heartland and major archaeological sites such as Machu Picchu. Remembering its actual epithet and regional identity—South America—explains the precise difference from the epithet asked in the question. Exam Takeaway: Remember **Blue City — Jodhpur** for quick revision of **Geographical Epithets GK**.

  • **Epithet and place:** “Blue City” refers to Jodhpur.
  • **Region:** Jodhpur is associated here with Rajasthan, India.
