Question

The scale in a map represents __________.

• A. location of a place
• B. directions
• C. the size of the map to the size of a real place
• D. length of the map

Answer 1

The correct option is C the size of the map to the size of a real place

The scale indicates the portion which a distance between two points on a map bears to the distance between the corresponding points on the actual ground. The distance on the map are smaller than the corresponding distance on actual ground. But the map always bears a definite proportion to the mapped area.
