- A. Sugarcane
- B. Tea
- C. Coffee
- D. Cotton
The correct answer is (c) Coffee. Coffee is a tropical plantation crop with three main varieties, and Karnataka contributes more than two-third of India’s total coffee production. It is mainly grown in the highlands of the Western Ghats in Karnataka and Kerala. Sugarcane and cotton are not plantation crops, while tea is also a plantation crop but does not match the clue about three varieties and Karnataka’s dominance.
- A. Only I, III and IV are correct.
- B. Only II, III and IV are correct.
- C. Only I, II and IV are correct.
- D. Only I, II and III are correct.
The correct answer is (d) Only I, II and III are correct. Plantation agriculture requires a good transportation system because the produce is usually meant for distant markets. It needs large capital investment for land, labour, machinery, processing and transport. It is a single crop specialisation. Statement IV is incorrect because plantation agriculture is not best developed in the Eurasian Steppes; it is mainly found in tropical and subtropical regions.
- A. They are equally effective in rural and urban areas.
- B. They deal in retail and wholesale trading.
- C. They employ highly skilled specialists in many executive tasks.
- D. They provide services to individual consumers who can afford to pay.
The correct answer is (d) They provide services to individual consumers who can afford to pay. Chain stores are retail outlets meant for consumers, especially in urban areas, where they sell goods directly to individual buyers. They are not equally effective in rural and urban areas, they do not deal in both retail and wholesale trade, and highly skilled specialists are not the defining feature of chain stores.
- A. I, III, IV, II
- B. I, III, II, IV
- C. III, I, II, IV
- D. III, I, IV, II
The correct answer is (d) III, I, IV, II. San Francisco is on the western coast of the USA, Honolulu is in the Pacific route, Colon is connected through the Panama Canal route, and London is in western Europe. Hence, the sequence that connects the western part of the USA to western Europe is III, I, IV, II.
- A. Naval Port - Abadan
- B. Entrepot Port - Kochchi
- C. Oil Port - Esskhira
- D. Commercial Port - Dover
The correct answer is (b) Entrepot Port - Kochchi. Kochchi (Kochi) is correctly identified as an entrepot port. An entrepot port serves as a transit port where goods are imported and then re-exported. The other pairs are incorrect: Abadan is known as an oil port, Esskhira is not the standard example for an oil port in NCERT, and Dover is a commercial port but the option set here does not match as well as Kochchi does for entrepot.

Log in to view solution →In agriculturally important countries, agro products are exchanged for manufactured goods, whereas industrialised nations export machinery and finished products and import food grains and other raw materials. Foreign investment can boost trade in developing countries which lack in capital required for the development of mining, oil drilling, heavy engineering, lumbering and plantation agriculture. By developing such capital intensive industries in developing countries, the industrial nations ensure import of food stuffs, minerals and create markets for their finished products. This entire cycle steps up the volume of trade between nations.
