Solution

The correct option is A 500 m
The distance between Subash Marg and parade = 1 cm on the map
Scale on the map is 2 cm = 1 km

We need to find what 1 cm is.

1 cm = 2 cm ÷ 1
We will divide 1 km by 2,
1 km = 1000 m
1000 m ÷ 2 = 500 m

So, the actual distance between Subash Marg and the parade is 500 m.
