Question:On a scale of a map, `0.6`cm represents `6.6`kg. If the distance between two points on the map is `80.5`cm, the actual distance between these points is :
A `9`kg
B `72.5`kg
C `190.75`kg
D `885.5`kg
/17
+ Answer
D
+ ExplanationMore distance on the map, more actual distance (Direct)
`0.6 : 80.5 :: 6.6 : x` or
`0.6x = 80.5 xx 6.6` or
`x = ((80.5 xx 6.6)/(0.6))`
`= 885.5` kg.
Hence, actual distance
`= 885.5` km.
