NCERT Question 2 (ii)

Answer:

Rail transport is most convenient in plains, densely populated areas, and industrial regions, such as northern India (e.g., Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Punjab, and West Bengal).

Reasons:

1. Flat Terrain: Plains provide an easy and cost-effective way to lay railway tracks.
2. High Population Density: Railways efficiently transport large numbers of passengers.
3. Industrial and Agricultural Hubs: Railways are ideal for moving raw materials, goods, and agricultural produce over long distances at a lower cost. 🚆
