Question

The distance between New Delhi Station and Safdarjung Enclave bus stop is 20 km. On the map of Delhi it has been. shown by a line of 3.5 cm. Draw the linear scale of the map and calculate the R.F.

Answer 1

The scale is 3.5 cm = 20 km

= 20 × 100000 cm

i.e. 35 cm = 20,00,000

= 20,00,000 cm

1 cm = `20000000/35` = 57142.8

1 cm = 571429 cm nearly

i.e. 1 cm = 5.7 km

R.F. = 1 : 571429
