Statement 1 - Deendayal Port : Tidal Port - Correct Deendayal Port, formerly known as Kandla Port, is located on the Gulf of Kutch in Gujarat. It is a tidal port, meaning its functioning and navigability are significantly influenced by tidal conditions. The Gulf of Kutch has a large tidal range, which is an important geographical feature of the port. Therefore, Deendayal Port - Tidal Port is correctly matched. Statement 2 - Jawaharlal Nehru Port : Landlocked Port - Incorrect Jawaharlal Nehru Port (Nhava Sheva) is located on the Arabian Sea coast near Mumbai, Maharashtra. It is a major coastal port and one of India's most important container ports. A landlocked port has no direct access to the sea, whereas JNPT has direct maritime access. Therefore, Jawaharlal Nehru Port - Landlocked Port is incorrectly matched. Statement 3 - V.O. Chidambaranar Port : Artificial Deep-Sea Harbour - Correct V.O. Chidambaranar Port, formerly known as Tuticorin Port, is located on the southeastern coast of Tamil Nadu. It is an artificial deep-sea harbour, developed with constructed harbour facilities to provide sheltered and sufficiently deep waters for maritime transport. Therefore, V.O. Chidambaranar Port - Artificial Deep-Sea Harbour is correctly matched. Statement 4 - Paradip Port : Natural Shallow Water Port - Incorrect Paradip Port is located on the Odisha coast, near the Mahanadi delta. It is classified as a natural, deep-water port, not a natural shallow-water port. Its deep-water characteristics make it suitable for handling large vessels and bulk cargo such as iron ore and coal.

The project is located in Madhya Pradesh and is an interstate project involving Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Therefore, Bansagar - Son is correctly matched.

Q3

Row 1 - Lapies - Depositional - Groundwater - Incorrect Lapies, also called karren, are characteristic features of karst topography formed by the dissolving action of groundwater on limestone. They consist of sharp grooves, ridges and furrows on exposed limestone surfaces. However, lapies are an erosional landform, not a depositional one. The agent, groundwater, is correctly identified, but the type of landform is wrong. Therefore, Row 1 is incorrect. Row 2 - Seif - Depositional - Wind - Correct A Seif is a long, narrow or longitudinal sand dune formed by the depositional action of wind in arid and semi-arid regions. Wind transports sand and deposits it in elongated ridges, often broadly parallel to the dominant wind direction. Therefore, both the classification as depositional and the agent wind are correct. Hence, Row 2 is correct. Row 3 - Horn - Erosional - Glacier - Correct A Horn is a sharp, pyramid-shaped mountain peak formed by glacial erosion when glaciers erode a mountain from several sides. Continued erosion by surrounding cirques leaves a steep, pointed summit, with the Matterhorn being a classic example. Therefore, Horn is correctly identified as an erosional landform formed by glaciers.
