Question

How much is the actual area of the park shown below?

• A. 2400 sq. m
• B. 24000 sq. m
• C. 240000 sq. m
• D. 240 sq. m

Answer 1

The correct option is C 240000 sq. m

From the image, we can observe that the park is rectangular in shape, with a length of 120 cm and breadth of 80 cm.

Area of the park in the map = 120 cm $\times$ 80 cm = 9600 sq. cm.

Since the scale used in the map is 1 cm = 5 m, area of unit square in the map in actuality is 5 m $\times$ 5 m = 25 sq. m

=> Actual area of the park = 9600 $\times$ 25 = 240000 sq. m
