Multiple Choice Questions

(a) 250 km
(b) 450 km
(c) 350 km
(d) 150 km

Ans:  (a) 250 km
To calculate the distance between Jaunpur and Chapra, we followed these steps:

• Grid Measurement: The map is divided into 1 cm grid squares, and the scale tells us that each 1 cm on the map equals 50 kilometers on the ground.
• Estimate the Distance: By counting the number of grid squares between Jaunpur and Chapra, the distance is estimated to be around 5 cm.
• Convert to Real Distance: Since each centimeter on the map represents 50 kilometers, we multiply the 5 cm by 50 kilometers:

                           5 cm × 50 km/cm = 250 km

Therefore, the approximate distance between Jaunpur and Chapra is 250 km.

(ii) There is a pentagon drawn on a 1 cm square grid. If Mohan is asked to draw the same picture on a 2cm grid. The side of the square is made two times bigger. Does the area of square grids also become two times bigger?

(a) Yes, becomes two times bigger

(b) No, it becomes 4 times bigger 

(c) No, it becomes three times bigger

(d) No, it remains the same

Ans: (b) No, it becomes 4 times bigger 
The area of a square is calculated using the formula: Area = side × side.

1. Original Grid (1 cm):

   • Area = $1\times 1=1$1cm×1cm=1 square cm

2. New Grid (2 cm):

   • Area = $2\times 2=4$ cm

When the side of the square becomes two times bigger, the area becomes four times bigger, not two times. Therefore, the correct answer is (b) No, it becomes 4 times bigger.

c) If the tiger wants to catch the deer, in which direction he should be making the jump?

(a) North

(b) South

(c) East

(d) West

Ans: (b) South
Based on the image and the compass directions provided, the tiger is positioned to the north of the deer. If the tiger wants to catch the deer, it should jump south.

So, Option b is correct.

Answer the following Questions

(i) 

Ans:   1. The Dog is located south of the Horse.

              2. The Cat is located southeast of the Horse.

              3. The Cow is located north of the Cat.

              4. The Horse is located northwest of the Cat.

              5. The Dog is located west of the Cat.

              6. The Cow is located east of the Horse.

              7. The Dog is located southwest of the Cow.

              8. The Cat is located south of the Cow.

(ii) Find out the scale used to draw the map using the distance information given.
Places - From Bengaluru to Lucknow
Actual distance - 1855 Km 
Distance on map - 5.3 cm
Ans: Actual distance =1855 km
Distance on map =5.3 cm
1 cm = 1855 km / 5.3 
= 1855km / 1 x 10/53 
= 18550 km/53 
∴ 1 cm = 350 km

(iii) Height of a building is 9 m and this building is represented by 9 cm on a map. What is the scale used for the map?
Ans: Given: The height of the building is 9m.
9m is represented by 9cm on the map.
We know that 1m = 100cm
therefore,
9m : 9cm ⇒ 900cm : 9cm
Scale used ⇒ 100:1

(iv) If actual distance between two places A and B is 110 km and it is represented on a map by 25 mm. Then the scale used is _____.
Ans: We know that
Scale of map = Size drawn on map / Actual size  = 25mm / 110km
25mm / 110000000mm
1/440000
So, If actual distance between two places A and B is 110 km and it is represented on a map by 25 mm. Then the scale used is 1 : 4400000
