Question

A salt water lake in India is_____
a. Dal Lake
b. Sambhar lake
c. Loktak lake
d. Wular lake

Answer 1

Hint:
A salt lake or saline lake is a landlocked waterway that has a grouping of salts (normally sodium chloride) and other disintegrated minerals altogether higher than most lakes (frequently characterized as at any rate three grams of salt for each litre). Sometimes, salt lakes have a higher grouping of salt than ocean water; such lakes can likewise be named hypersaline lakes. An alkalic salt lake that has a high substance of carbonate is now and again named a soft drink lake.

Complete solution:
The Sambhar Salt Lake, India's biggest inland salt lake, is found 80 km (50 miles) southwest of the city of Jaipur and 64 km (40 miles) upper east of Ajmer, Rajasthan. It encompasses the chronicled Sambhar Lake Town.

The lake gets water from five waterways: Medtha, Samaod, Mantha, Rupangarh, Khari, and Khandela. Lake has 5700 square km catchment area. The lake is a broad saline wetland, with water profundity fluctuating from as not many as 60 centimeters (24 in) during the dry season to around 3 meters (10 ft) toward the finish of the storm season. It possesses a zone of 190 to 230 square kilometres dependent on the season. The lake is circularly moulded with a length of around 35.5 km and a broadness fluctuating between 3 km and 11 km. The lake rides Nagaur and Jaipur locales and fringes on the Ajmer area. The circuit of the lake is 96 km, and it is encircled by the Aravali slopes on all sides.


Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Note:
 The Sambhar lake basin is separated by a 5.1 km long dam made of sandstone. After the saltwater arrives at a specific fixation, it is delivered from the west side toward the east side by lifting dam doors. Toward the east of the dam are salt dissipation lakes where salt has been cultivated for a very long time. This eastern territory is 80 square km and contains salt supplies, channels and salt dishes isolated by thin edges. Toward the east of the dam is a railroad, worked by the British (before India's autonomy) to give access from Sambhar Lake City to the salt works.
