$\textsf{ 1 cm on a map corresponds to an} \\\textsf{actual distance of 40 km.} \\\textsf{And the distance on the map} \\ \textsf{between Bombay and Calcutta is 37.5 cm, } \\ \textsf{what is the actual distance between them.}$

$\underline{\underline{\huge\mathfrak{ANSWER}}}$

$\underline\text{We know that,}$

$\underline\textsf{On a Map,}$

$\mathsf{1 cm \: = 40 km}$

So,
$\underline\text{Using the same ratio,}$

$\mathsf{375cm}$ = $\mathsf{375 \times 40}$

$\mathsf{\Longrightarrow 1500 km}$

$\textsf{Hence, Actual distance between Bombay} \\ \textsf{and Calcutta} \mathsf{ \: is \: 1500 \: km.}$
