Answer 2

Answer:

Quarter Sheets:

• Million sheet is divided into 16 equal parts.

• Each part of a million sheet is called the quarter sheet.

• The extent of each quarter sheet is 1° of latitude and 1° of longitude.

• Thus, the quarter sheets are also called 1° x 1° sheets or degree sheets.

• These sheets are marked as A, B, C , D .... P and are written as 45A, 45B, 45C,... 45P.

• The scale of these sheets is 1 : 250,000 or 1 cm : 2.5 km.

Quadrant Sheets:

• A quarter sheet is further subdivided into 16 equal parts.

• Each part of a quarter sheet is called the quadrant sheet.

• The extent of each quadrant sheet is ¼° or 15' of latitude and ¼° or 15' of longitude.

• These sheets are numbered from 1 to 16 and are written as 45 $\frac{A}{1}$ , 45 $\frac{A}{2}$ .... 45 $\frac{A}{16}$.

• The scale of these sheets is 1 : 50,000 or 2cm : 1 km.
