Q68

On the map of a big city following scale is mentioned.
Scale : 1 cm = 845 m
If on this map the measured distance between two important locations of the city is 13.7 cm, the actual distance between the two locations is approximately :

  1. (1) 12.90 km
  2. (2) 11.57 kmCorrect answer
  3. (3) 11.02 km
  4. (4) 12.50 km

Solution.

CBSE answer: (2)

Answer: (2) 11.57 km

  1. Each 1 cm on the map stands for 845 m on the ground.
  2. Actual distance =13.7×845=11576.5= 13.7 \times 845 = 11576.5 m.
  3. Check: 13×845=1098513 \times 845 = 10985 and 0.7×845=591.50.7 \times 845 = 591.5; total 11576.5 m.
  4. 11576.511576.5 m ≈11.57\approx 11.57 km.

Trap: (4) 12.50 km comes from rough rounding; (1) and (3) do not match the product.
