Answer: D

Key insight
Three maps show states at their correct relative sizes to each other; one map has been scaled up or down. Compare the proportional sizes — a state that looks disproportionately large or small relative to its known actual size is the scaled one.

Step by step
Step 1: Identify the states from their distinctive outlines: A = Gujarat (peninsula shape), B = Rajasthan (large irregular), C = Maharashtra (triangular), D = West Bengal (narrow elongated).
Step 2: Compare their relative sizes. Rajasthan is India's largest state; Maharashtra and Gujarat are large; West Bengal is relatively narrow and smaller.
Step 3: Option D (West Bengal) appears disproportionately large relative to the other three states shown — it has been scaled up.
Therefore the answer is D.

Why wrong options are wrong
Options A, B, C show their respective states at proportionally correct sizes relative to each other and to common knowledge of Indian state sizes.

Remember for exam
Know the rough relative sizes of major Indian states — Rajasthan (largest), MP, Maharashtra, UP, G

The options show maps of some states of India. In only one of the options, the map has been scaled (either up or down). Which is that option?
