A map is drawn at a scale of 2mm for 500kms/ Two places are marked at the distance of 3.6mm, calculate the distance? (in kms) between these two places?
A 900
B. 800
C. 750
D. 60

Options

A. D
B. A
C. C
D. B

Answer

To solve the problem, we need to determine the actual distance between two places marked on a map based on the given scale.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understand the Scale**: The scale of the map is given as 2 mm for 500 km. This means that every 2 mm on the map represents a distance of 500 km in reality.

2. **Calculate the Distance Represented by 1 mm**:
\[ \text{Distance represented by 1 mm} = \frac{500 \text{ km}}{2 \text{ mm}} = 250 \text{ km/mm} \]

3. **Identify the Distance on the Map**: The distance between the two places on the map is given as 3.6 mm.

4. **Calculate the Actual Distance**:
\[ \text{Actual distance} = \text{Distance on map} \times \text{Distance represented by 1 mm} \]
\[ \text{Actual distance} = 3.6 \text{ mm} \times 250 \text{ km/mm} = 900 \text{ km} \]

5. **Conclusion**: The distance between the two places is 900 km.

### Final Answer:
The distance between the two places is **900 km** (Option A).
