Question

Given scale on a map is 1 mm = 10 km. Find the actual distance between two places which are 25 mm apart on the map in meter.

• A. 20000 m
• B. 25000 m
• C. 200000 m
• D. 250000 m

Answer 1

The correct option is D 250000 m

Given scale on the map: 1 mm = 10 km

Distance between two places in the given map = 25 mm
Actual distance between the two places = 25 $\times$ 10 = 250 km

We know that 1 km = 1000 m
So, 250 km = 1000 $\times$ 250 = 250000 m
