Question

A town called Jalebipur is 35 kms away from Chholaghat and 10 km from Dhoklabad. Where do you think it can be?

Scale 1 cm = 10 Km

Answer 1

Jalebipur is 10 Km away from Dhoklabad and 35 Km from Chholaghat so it must be between both of these town.
Since scale of map is 1 cm = 10 km,
Therefore jalebipur will be marked 1 cm away from the Dhoklabad and in between Chholaghat and Dhoklabad.
Now if you observe the distance between Chholaghat and Jalebipur in map is 3.5 cm
= 2 cm + 1.5 cm
So actual distance will be
= 2 $\times$ 10 + 1.5 $\times$ 10
= 35 Km
