In which State is the Guru Shikhar Peak located?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Guru Shikhar (Guru‑Sikhar), at about 1,722 m, is the highest peak of the Aravalli Range and crowns the Mount Abu hill complex [1]. Official and educational sources explicitly identify Mount Abu as the only hill station of the state and note that Guru Shikhar is its prominent summit, thereby placing the peak in Rajasthan [3]. District-level documentation for Sirohi (the district that contains Mount Abu) also references Guru Shikhar as Mount Abu’s highest point, reinforcing the peak’s association with Rajasthan [4]. Therefore, among the given options, Rajasthan is the correct location for Guru Shikhar Peak.
