Explanation
- Map-based questions require identifying marked locations using clues given in the question or the broader chapter context (Chapter 7 — Lifelines of the National Economy).
- Common map points in this chapter include: Golden Quadrilateral cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai), major ports (Vishakhapatnam, Paradwip, Kolkata), North-South/East-West corridor terminals (Srinagar, Kanniyakumari, Silchar, Porbandar), and important railway junctions.
- Since the visual shows Point B in Bihar/Champaran and Point A near Bengal/Kolkata, match those to the chapter's references to riverine ports and transport hubs.
- In the actual exam, write only the place name clearly on the map line — no extra explanation needed on the map itself.
