Previous Year Question
Which of the following is not correctly matched?
Ports — Country
Ratterdam — The Netherland
Igarka — China
Montevideo — Uruguay
Jakarta — Indonesia
Correct Answer: B
Detailed Solution
Rotterdam is situated in the Netherlands, and its port is one of the most important and largest ports in Europe. Its location near the North Sea in the Rhine-Meuse delta region makes it a major maritime gateway to the European hinterland.
Igarka is not situated in China; it is located in Russia. It is an Arctic city in Krasnoyarsk Krai. Official Russian Arctic records include Igarka among the cities of Krasnoyarsk Krai. Therefore, the Igarka–China pair given in the question is incorrect.
Montevideo is the capital of Uruguay and an important port city on the Río de la Plata. Similarly, Jakarta is situated in Indonesia on the north-western coast of Java and is a major urban-economic centre of the country.
