Answer:
the distance between the cities is 5250 KM (kilometer).
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Scale of map = 1 : 21,00,00,000
Distance between two cities in the map = 2.5 cm
Solution : 1 cm on map = 21,00,00,000
∴ 2.5 cm on map = 21,00,00,000 X 2.5
= 52,50,00,000 cm
we know that 1 KM = 100000 cm
∴ 52,50,00,000 cm = 52,50,00,000/100000
= 5250 KM ( kilometer)
