3. Find the direct distance of the metalled road from the Post Office at Pamera till it intersects with National Highway NH 168 in grid square 6432.

Answer 1

1. Number of complete squares = 9 Since each grid square measures 1 km × 1 km, the area of the area enclosed within the Eastings 63 to 66 and Northings 30 to 33 will be 9 sq. km.
2. Compass direction
   1. Gulabganj from Pithapura - South West
   2. Pamera from Malgaon - North East
3. Distance between two places A and B = 4.6 cm
   Given scale is 2 cm = 1 km
   1 cm = 0.5 km
   4.6 cm = 0.5 × 4.6 = 2.3 km
