Social Science (087) — CBSE Class 10 board question

Map-based answer — locate and label any THREE of the following:

(Students mark the features on the outline map with appropriate symbols. The four options typically given for this chapter are:)

1. Kandla Port — located on the western coast (Gujarat); mark with a port symbol (anchor/dot) and label.
2. Vishakhapatnam Port — located on the eastern coast (Andhra Pradesh); mark with a port symbol and label. (Deepest landlocked port)
3. Golden Quadrilateral — any one city/route segment e.g., Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata; mark with a highway line symbol and label.
4. Salal Dam / any relevant feature — mark with suitable symbol and label.

(Mark chosen features accurately on the map with a dot/symbol and clear label.)

Note: 1 mark is awarded for each correctly located and labelled feature (symbol + label). Any three correct = 3 marks.

• In board exams, map questions award 1 mark per correct feature: ½ mark for correct location + ½ mark for correct label/symbol.
• Do not write anything in the answer booklet paragraph-form for map questions — just mark, symbolise, and label on the map itself.
• The four options are printed in the question paper; you must choose any three. Common options from Chapter 7 include major ports (Vishakhapatnam, Kandla, Paradwip, Tuticorin), corridor terminals (Srinagar, Kanniyakumari, Silchar, Porbandar), or important railway junctions.
• Practice locating these on a blank map beforehand — accuracy of location matters.
