Which city known as Sun City of India?

Appeared in: RRB Staff Nurse Mumbai-2015

Explanation

Jodhpur is widely known as the 'Sun City' in India.
This nickname is attributed to the bright and sunny weather the city experiences throughout the year.
The location of Jodhpur in the Thar Desert region contributes to its sunny and arid climate.
In addition to 'Sun City', Jodhpur is also famously called the 'Blue City' because of the blue-painted houses in the old part of the town.

Option A: Mumbai is incorrect. It is known as the 'Financial Capital of India' and the 'City of Dreams', but not the 'Sun City'.
Option B: New Delhi is the capital of India and is sometimes referred to as the 'City of Rallies', but it is not known as the 'Sun City'.
Option C: Jaipur is famously known as the 'Pink City' due to the color of its historic buildings. It is not the 'Sun City'.

Clinical Relevance

Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Nicknames of Indian Cities as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
This is a general knowledge question and has no direct clinical or nursing relevance.
Understanding local geography and culture can be beneficial for community health nurses when establishing rapport with people from different regions of India.
What if? - If the stem changed one defining clue so that Jodhpur no longer matched, reassess the option whose mechanism, classification, or indication now fits the revised presentation.

How to Approach the Question

This is a factual recall question based on general knowledge about Indian geography and culture.
Read the question to identify the key term: 'Sun City'.
Evaluate each option based on your knowledge of Indian cities.
Recall or deduce the nicknames for each city: Mumbai ('City of Dreams'), New Delhi (Capital), Jaipur ('Pink City').
By elimination, or by direct knowledge, identify Jodhpur as the 'Sun City'.
Confirm the answer. Jodhpur's climate and location make the nickname 'Sun City' logical.
