Question
A map is prepared with a scale of 1: 1000 and a contour interval of 1 m. If the distance between two adjacent contours on the map is 10 mm, the slope of the ground between the adjacent contours is
Correct answer
(B) 10%
Solution
Given:
Scale = 1:1000
Contour Interval (Vertical distance, ) = 1 m
Map distance between contours = 10 mm = 0.01 mHorizontal ground distance () = Map distance Scale factor
Slope of the ground =
Slope = Therefore, the correct option is (B).
