Question

In a map of a park, if the sitting area covers 3 sq. cm, find its actual area, provided the scale used in the map is 1 cm = 10 m.

• A. 300 sq. m
• B. 400 sq. m
• C. 500 sq. m
• D. 100 sq. m

Answer 1

The correct option is A 300 sq. m

Area of the sitting area in the map = 3 sq. cm

Since the scale used in the map is 1 cm = 10 m,
Actual area of a unit square = 10 m $\times$ 10 m = 100 sq. m

=> Actual area of the sitting area = 3 $\times$ 100 sq. m = 300 sq. m
