Question

Find out the scale used to draw the map using the distance information given.

Places	Actual distance	Distance on map
From Begalore to Lucknow	$1855$ km	$5.3$ cm

Answer 1

Actual distance $=1855$ km

Distance on map $=5.3$ cm
$1$ cm $=\frac{1855}{5.3}$ km
$=\frac{1855}{1}\frac{10}{53}$ km
$=\frac{1855}{1}\times \frac{10}{53}$ km
$=\frac{18550}{53}$ km
$\therefore 1$ cm $=350$ km
