Q44 (IAS/1999) Geography › Maps & Locations › World cities and capitals Answer Verified

Match the cities labelled as A, B, C and D in the given map with the names of cities and select the correct answer using the codes given below the names of cities : Names of Cities: 1. Darwin 2. Kuala Lumpur 3. Lagos 4. Nairobi 5. Singapore

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The labelled positions correspond to the map identifications given in the cited solution: 'A' is Darwin in northern Australia and is identified as such in the solution key; Darwin is also noted in regional shipping/service references that list it among major regional ports, consistent with its location on northern Australia [1]. 'B' is Kuala Lumpur, corroborated by the solution key and by geographic descriptions of Kuala Lumpur’s site in Peninsular Malaysia [1]. The key assigns 'C' to Nairobi and 'D' to Lagos, which matches the solution listing and regional city lists that include Lagos among major African cities. Therefore the matching A-1, B-2, C-4, D-3 corresponds to option 1.
