Less air transport development between 10° and 35° latitudes in the Southern hemisphere is due to:
(A) high population density
(B) low economic development
(C) limited landmass extent
(D) sparser population
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (B), (C) and (D) only
(A) high population density — False. The population in these latitudes is sparse, not dense. NTA changed “sparser population” to “high population density”, and a true line became false. Read every word before you mark the answer.
(B) low economic development — True. Economic development is one of the three reasons. Here it means its low level in these lands, which keeps air services few.
(C) limited landmass extent — True. The landmass between these latitudes is limited.
(D) sparser population — True. A sparser population is the first reason for the limited air services.
NCERT (2026-27): “Africa, Asiatic part of Russia and South America lack air services. There are limited air services between 10-35 latitudes in the Southern hemisphere due to sparser population, limited landmass and economic development.” |
