A map of a city is drawn on a scale of 1:150000. The distance between two cities, A and B, on this map is 6 cm. What will be the actual distance between the two cities?

Correct option is C

Given:

Scale = 1 : 150000
Distance on map = 6 cm
Actual distance = ?

Solution:

Actual distance = $$6 \times 150000 = 900000\ \text{cm}$$​

Convert cm to km:

​$$900000\ \text{cm} = \frac{900000}{100000} = 9\ \text{km}$$​
