What two northernmost territories of India lie 1,100 km southeast of Calcutta? (In alphabetical order)  Answer: Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

This was tricky and I only solved it by plugging in every territory south of  Kolkata before I realized I was going the wrong direction. Once you get a good idea how far from Kolkata is 1100 km, look for a territories map instead. I was looking southwest, on the subcontinent. Southeast was in the Indian Ocean. And there is only one territory out that far in that direction.
