Match the different ports of Union Territory of Pondicherry labelled as A, B, C and D in the given map with their respective names and select the correct answer using the codes given below the list of ports : List (Ports of Pondicherry) : 1. Karaikal 2. Mahe 3. Pondicherry 4. Yanam

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The four non-contiguous enclaves of the Union Territory are geographically distinct: Mahe is situated on the Malabar (Kerala) coast (west), so label A corresponds to Mahe [2]. Karaikal lies on the Coromandel Coast about 130 km south of Puducherry, so label B is Karaikal [1]. The principal enclave on the Coromandel coast (the UT capital area) is Pondicherry, matching label C [1]. Yanam is located in the Godavari delta adjoining East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, therefore label D is Yanam [2]. These identifications correspond to option 1: A-2 (Mahe), B-1 (Karaikal), C-3 (Pondicherry), D-4 (Yanam).
