Explanation
- A = Dandi is confirmed by the passage: Gandhi reached Dandi on 6 April and "ceremonially violated the law, manufacturing salt by boiling sea water."
- B = Madras (Chennai) — The 1927 INC session was held at Madras; this is standard factual content from the chapter.
- For Part (ii), examiners award marks for correct location + correct symbol + legible name on the map. No written description is needed — all work is on the map itself.
- In board exams, map questions are assessed on the physical map sheet, not written paragraphs. Write only what is asked.
