Solution
The correct option is B 34 meters
Contour lines are the lines
joining points of equal height above or below sea level.
Contour interval is the
vertical distance between the two contour lines which are next to each other.
In the above figure contour
interval is 5 meters and sea level is taken as 0 elevation. Starting from the
sea level as we go up there are there 6 contour lines.
6(contour lines) * 5(interval)
=30
Thus the highest elevation on
this topographic map can be no more than 34 according to the options given
