Question

Help them, using road and railway maps of the state of Maharashtra. Use the scale given in the maps.

Ajay wants to arrange a family trip. Beed-Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar-Dhule-N asik-Mumbai-Pune-Solapur-Beed. He wants to visit tourist places along this route. The cost of the vehicle is Rs. 12/- per km. What would be the approximate cost of travel?

Answer 1

To calculate the approximate cost of travel for Ajay's trip, we will:

1. Identify the approximate distances between the cities along the route using the road and railway maps of Maharashtra.
2. Sum up the distances to get the total distance of the route.
3. Multiply the total distance by the cost per kilometer (Rs. 12/- per km).

Step 1: Approximate Distances Between Cities

Using typical road distances (approximated):

• Beed to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad): 130 km
• Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar to Dhule: 150 km
• Dhule to Nashik: 165 km
• Nashik to Mumbai: 170 km
• Mumbai to Pune: 150 km
• Pune to Solapur: 250 km
• Solapur to Beed: 200 km

Step 2: Total Distance

Add up the distances:

130 + 150 + 165 + 170 + 150 + 250 + 200 = 1215 km

Step 3: Cost of Travel

Multiply the total distance by the cost per kilometer:

1215 km × 12 Rs./km = Rs. 14,580 

The approximate cost of travel for Ajay's trip is Rs. 14,580.
