(B) Coefficient of Variation

(C) Gini Index

(D) Correlation of Coefficient

Page | 3

Answer: C

Explanation:

Gini Index

In economics, the Gini coefficient, sometimes called the Gini index or Gini ratio, is a measure of
statistical dispersion intended to represent the income inequality or wealth inequality within a
nation or any other group of people.

Q.25. The dot method of distribution refers to

(A) Iconic Model

(B) Graphical Model

(C) Symbolic Model

(D)Analogue Model

Answer: D

Explanation:

Analogue Model:

In the analogue models, .instead of using limitations of original or symbols to represent it, the
feature being studied is compared with some completely different feature by means of an
analogy.

An analogy model uses a better known situation or process to study a less well-known one. Its
value depends on the researcher’s ability to recognize the element common to two situations.

These elements constitute the positive analogy; the dissimilar or negative analogy and irrelevant
or neutral analogy are ignored.

Q.26. Which one of the following is a relative measure of dispersion?

(A) Standard Deviation

(B) Coefficient of Variation

(C) Range

(D) Quartile Deviation

Answer: B

Explanation:

The coefficient of variation (cv) is a statistical measure of the dispersion of data points in a data
series around the mean.

The coefficient of variation represents the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean, and it is a
useful statistic for comparing the degree of variation from one data series to another, even if the
means are drastically different from one another.

Q.28. Which of the following is most suitable to show the inequality in the distribution

(A) Circle Diagram

(B) Isopleth

(C) Lorenz Curve

(D) Bar Diagram

Answer: C

Explanation:

In economics, the Lorenz curve is a graphical representation of the distribution of income or of

wealth. It was developed by Max O. Lorenz in 1905 for representing inequality of the wealth
distribution.

Q.29. Which one of the following techniques is not suitable for showing urban population
on the map?

(A) Circles
Page | 6
(B) Divided Circle

(C) Spheres

(D) Hachures

Answer: D

Explanation:

Hachures are an older mode of representing relief. They show orientation of slope, and by their
thickness and overall density they provide a general sense of steepness. Being non-numeric, they
are less useful to a scientific survey than contours, but can successfully communicate quite
specific shapes of terrain.

Q.30. The heights of individual points on topographical maps are indicated by

(A) Spot height only

 PRACTICAL GEOGRAPHY PART 2 | 21-40 | 140 | CARTOGRAPHY AND STATS

(B) Pie Diagram

(C) Line Graph

(D) Histogram
Page | 7

Answer: D

Explanation:

A histogram is an approximate representation of the distribution of numerical data. It was first

introduced by Karl Pearson.

A histogram is a graphical display of data using bars of different heights. In a histogram, each
bar groups numbers into ranges. Taller bars show that more data falls in that range. A histogram
displays the shape and spread of continuous sample data.

Q.37. In which of the following diagrams the relationship of relative humidity and
temperature is depicted

(A) Hythergraph

(B) Ergograph

(C) Band Graph

(D) Climograph

Answer: D

Explanation:

Climograph

This graph was introduced by Griffith Taylor in first-half of 20th century. Koeppen used this graph
to show the variations in the world climate. In the graph, the wet-bulb temperature (°F) is plotted
on Y-axis and the relative humidity as monthly average on X-axis. Twelve points, for each month
are plotted in the graph with respect to the temperature and relative humidity. These points are
then joined to obtain a 12 sided figure, which is called the climograph of a particular place.

Raw It denotes wet-bulb temperature below 40°F and relative humidity over 70%.

Muggy It denotes temperature over 60°F and RH over 70%.

 PRACTICAL GEOGRAPHY PART 2 | 21-40 | 140 | CARTOGRAPHY AND STATS

Scorching It denotes temperature over 60°F and RH less than 40%.

Keen It denotes temperature below 40°F and RH less than 40%.

The climograph was devised to show the scale of habitability for white settlers within the tropics.

(D) Flow map

Answer: D
