Question : 14

Total: 80

Solution:

Concept:

Map scale relates a distance on the map to the corresponding actual ground distance.

Explanation:

The map scale is given as

2\text{ cm} = 1\text{ km}

Map distance between the towns is

20\text{ cm}

Divide the map distance by the scale length:

20 \div 2 = 10

Multiply by the ground equivalent:

10 \times 1\text{ km} = 10\text{ km}

Therefore, the actual ground distance is

10\text{ km}

Answer:

10\text{ km}
