Explanation
- The Quiz Drive in Chapter 7 mentions "Northern terminal of the North-South corridor" — that is Srinagar/Amritsar (Amritsar is the northern terminal of the North-South corridor).
- The Quiz Drive also mentions "Headquarters of the Southern Railway Zone" — that is Chennai.
- For map questions, identify clues from the position on the map (north-west = Punjab area → Amritsar; southern coast near Tamil Nadu → Chennai) and match with chapter facts.
- Examiners award 1 mark per correctly identified and written location. Spelling must be correct.
