In a physical map of India if you have to locate the Deccan Plateau, it will be represented by the colour :

  • A.orange
  • B.brown
  • C.green
  • D.yellow

Answer: D

The Deccan Plateau is shown in yellow.

Physical maps use a standard colour scheme for relief: green for low-lying plains, yellow for plateaus and other moderately high land, brown (in deepening shades) for hills and mountains, and white for snow-covered peaks, with blue for water bodies. The Deccan, a large triangular plateau south of the Narmada, therefore appears in yellow (shading into light brown where it is higher).

Green would mark the northern plains and coastal plains, and brown the Himalaya and other mountain ranges. Orange is not one of the standard relief colours.
