Question

What will be the actual area(in sq. m) of the square plot which covers 1 sq. cm on the map, if the scale followed by the map is 1 cm = 10 m?

• A. 10
• B. 1000
• C. 100
• D. 1

Answer 1

The correct option is C 100

Area covered by the plot on the map = 1 sq. cm = 1 cm x 1 cm
We know the scale of the map is 1 cm= 10 m.
So, the actual area of the plot = 10 x 10
= 100 sq. m
