Q.66. The Nearest Neighbour Analysis (NAA) method was developed by
(A) G.H. Smith
(B) A.H. Robison
(C) Clark and Evans
(D) Karl Pearson
Answer: C
Explanation:
NEAREST NEIGHBOUR ANALYSIS
- This method was devised by Clark and Evans.
- The pattern of distribution of houses in a village measured by this method can be described using names such as clustered, regular or random.
- The nearest neighbour analysis for villages and rural settlement can be measured by measuring distances between each village and the neighbouring village which lies close to it.
- It can be calculated with the help of Nearest neighbour index (Rn)
Nearest neighbour index (Rn)
- Rn=2d√ n/A
- A= size of the area concerned
- d= mean distance between villages
- n=number of villages
- Rn can range from 0 to 2.15
- 0= Clustered
- 0= Random
- 15= Perfectly Uniform
Q.67. The contours of equal spacing represents
(A) Undulating Slope
(B) Convex Slope
(C) Concave Slope
(D) Uniform Slope
Answer: D
Explanation:

Ergograph
This graph shows the relationship between season, climate and crops. The climate is represented by monthly average temperature, rainfall and relative humidity, which are marked along the Y-axis.
