Question : 1

Total: 50

The scale of the map in statement form is

Concept:

A statement scale expresses, in words, the relationship between a distance on the map and the corresponding actual distance on the ground.

Explanation:

Look carefully at the linear scale provided on the map.

The scale shows that a length of

2\ \mathrm{cm}

on the map corresponds to

1\ \mathrm{km}

on the real ground.

This means that every

2\ \mathrm{cm}

measured on the map represents

1\ \mathrm{km}

of actual ground distance.

In statement form, this is written as "

2

centimetres represent

1

kilometre".

This matches option B exactly.

Answer:

2

centimetres on the map represent

1

kilometre on the ground.
