Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow choosing the correct alternatives given. The white tiger is one of the rarest wild animals not only in India but perhaps in the world. In fact, all the white tigers found in India and abroad are the descendants of a nine-month-old white cub that was captured in 1951 in the forest of Rewa in Madhya Pradesh. At present there are about 38 white tigers in the world, out of which 24 are in India. The white tiger is a magnificent animal. It has a snow white coat with brown or ash coloured stripes and is larger than a normal tiger. About 70 years ago it was reported that there were light coloured tigers in the forests of Assam, Bengal and Bihar, but they were not truly white tigers. The forests of Rewa are the only region where real white tigers are found. In which state was the nine-month-old white cub found?
