Model Answer
On the political outline map of India, locate and label the following with suitable symbols:
(i) International Airport – West Bengal: Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, Kolkata — marked with a ✈ symbol.
(ii) Software Technology Park – Karnataka: Bengaluru (Bangalore) — marked with a ⬛ or dot symbol.
(iii) Nuclear Power Plant – Maharashtra: Tarapur (Tarapur Atomic Power Station) — marked with a ☢ or ⊕ symbol.
(iv) Major Sea Port – Odisha: Paradwip Port — marked with an anchor ⚓ symbol.
(Note: In the actual exam, these locations must be accurately marked and labelled directly on the outline map.)

Explanation
- Map-based questions require correct location + correct label + correct symbol — one mark per item (any three out of four).
- Examiners award marks only if the location is reasonably accurate on the map; a wrong state = no mark.
- Key facts: Kolkata airport = West Bengal; Bengaluru = Karnataka's major IT/STP hub; Tarapur = Maharashtra's nuclear plant; Paradwip = Odisha's main sea port.
- Always use the standard CBSE map symbols practised in class for airports, ports, nuclear plants, and IT parks.
