Question

Which of the following statements in respect of a map A having scale 1: 1000 and another map B having scale 1: 5000 is true?

• A. Map B is a more detailed map compared to map A.
• B. Map B is a large scale map compared to map A.
• C. None of the above
• D. Map A is a large scale map compared to map B.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Map A is a large scale map compared to map B.

$\text{Higher the representative fraction (R.F) value, larger the scale.}$

$\text{So, scale}\frac{1}{1000}\text{is larger than scale}\frac{1}{5000}.$
