Q. Which one of the following pairs is not correct?
  • (A) New Moore Island - India
  • (B) Hurricane - China Sea
  • (C) Doldrums - The equator
  • (D) Trade winds - Winds which blow towards the equator
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) Hurricane - China Sea

Explanation:

Let’s analyze each option:

(A) New Moore Island – India:
New Moore Island (also called South Talpatti) was a disputed territory between India and Bangladesh, and it was claimed by India, so this is correct.

(B) Hurricane – China Sea:
This is incorrect. In the China Sea, such tropical storms are called typhoons, not hurricanes.
– Hurricanes occur in the Atlantic Ocean and Northeast Pacific.
– Typhoons occur in the Northwest Pacific, including the China Sea.
So, this pair is not correct.

(C) Doldrums – The equator:
The Doldrums refer to a low-pressure area around the equator with calm winds – this is correct.

(D) Trade winds – Winds which blow towards the equator:
Trade winds blow from subtropical high-pressure areas towards the equatorial low-pressure belt – this is also correct.

Therefore, the incorrect pair is: (B) Hurricane – China Sea.
