Question

Find the scale for the map given below:

• A. 1 unit = 3 km
• B. 1 unit = 4 km
• C. 1 unit = 5 km
• D. 1 unit = 6 km

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1 unit = 5 km

In the given map,
the two points denoted are (1, 5) and (2, 10).
But the distance between the two points is denoted as 25 km.
So, you have 5 units = 25 km on the map.
∴ $1unit=25km÷5=5km$

So, the scale of the map is, 1 unit = 5 km
