If two cities, A and B, on a map of scale 1 : 6000000 are 5 cm apart, what is the actual distance (in km) between A and B?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 300.

1 cm on map = 6,000,000 cm in real life

So, 5 cm = 5 × 6,000,000 = 30,000,000 cm

⇒ 30,000,0001,00,00030,000,000\over1,00,000 = 300 km
