If 1 cm on a map corresponds to an actual distance of 40 kms. And the distance on the map between Bombay and Calcutta is 37.5 cms., the actual distance between them is :

A.375 kms
B.3750 kms
C.1500 kms
D.1375 kms
E.None of the above

The OA is C.
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

[spoiler]37.5*40 = 75*20 =150*10 =1500 [ I am sorry what level is this question 300-400?][/spoiler]
