(B) Read the following statements and correct the wrong ones:<\/strong><\/p>

(1) While describing the location of a place mentioning the meridian is sufficient.
Ans: <\/strong>Wrong:- While describing the location of a place, we need to consider one parallel and one meridian.<\/p>

(2) For describing the extent of a region, it is necessary to assume the latitude and longitude of the centre of the adjoining region.<\/strong>
Ans:<\/strong> Wrong: For describing the extent of a region, we need to consider two parallels and two meridians at the extreme ends of the same regions.<\/p>

(3) Location of a road can be described only with a map.<\/strong>
Ans:<\/strong> Wrong:- Location of a road can be described with latitude and longitude of a point.<\/p>

Ans:<\/strong> Wrong:- 0\u00b0 meridian and 180\u00b0 meridian.<\/p>

(5) The extent of a road or a river course is described with the help of the latitude of a point in the source and the longitude of a point at the end.<\/strong>
Ans: <\/strong>Wrong:- The extent of a road or a river course is described with the help of the latitude and the longitude of a point in the source and also at the end.<\/p>

(6) 8\u00b0 4\u2032 N parallel to 37\u00b0 66\u00b0 N parallel is the correct description of a location<\/strong>
Ans:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>
