Paper III
Note : This paper contains seventy five (75) objective type questions of two (2) marks each.
All questions are compulsory.
Read the following passage and answer the
questions given below (1 to 6) :
The geographical setting of a town is
of great importance in determining the
quality of urban environment, stimulating
its further growth and occasionally
threatening its very survival. The physical
attributes of a town influence its
attractiveness to residents and outsiders
alike. Much of the beauty of a town is
inherent in its location and surroundings
and it is for this reason that planners take
care in selecting a proper site for a new
town. A city with hills and a rolling terrain
has greater charm than a flat city; further, a
city having features of scenic beauty like a
lake, a river, a beach or a good view of
magnificent snow-covered maintains has
natural charm. On the other hand, the
geographical setting of a city may pose a
serious threat to its survival. Many cities of
the world have been destroyed by floods,
earthquakes and other natural calamities.
Cities located on flood plains obviously
face a threat. Often flash floods on smaller
rivers are for more devastating than the
flooding on larger rivers.
