Observation

This was a compulsory question. Many candidates wrongly answered the question.
Some of them enlarged the map instead of reducing the whole map to the required scale. Some of them were able to correctly insert the features as required. Many were not able to calculate the distance well because they measured wrongly. Many candidates got the occupation of the people in the mapped area correctly.
