The children look at this map to see the parade route.



(1) Trace the route of the parade in Map 3 and mark India Gate and Rajpath.
(2) Look at the map carefully and find out:
(a) Which of these is the longest road?
• B.S. Zafar Marg • Subhash Marg • Tilak Marg
(b) If Rubia is coming from Jama Masjid to join the parade, guess about how far she will have to walk.
(c) The total route of the parade is about how long?
• 3 km • 16 km • 25 km • 8 km

Answer 1

(1) The route of the parade has been traced below. The Rajpath and India Gate has been marked on the map.


(2) (a) Subhash Marg is the longest road among them.

(b) We know that the route of the parade through Subhash Marg and the Jama Masjid is 1 cm away from the Subhash Marg on the map.

Here the scale is 2 cm = 1 km
so,
1 cm = 0.5 km

We know that,
1 km = 1000 m
so,
0.5 km = 500 m

Thus, Rubia will have to walk about 500 m to join the parade.

(c) Total distance of parade in the map is 16 cm.
And we know that ,
2 cm on map = 1 km
Thus,
16 cm = 8 km

So, the total route of the parade will be about 8 km.
