A topographic map scale of 1:5000 is found to be in error of 0.50mm.
- What will be the error in the ground?
- What will be the error in the ground if the map was reduced 2 times?
\[
MS = \frac{MD}{GD}
\]
\[
\frac{1}{5000} = \frac{0.50mm.}{GD}
\]
\[
GD = 2500mm. (\frac{1m.}{1000mm.})
\]
\[
GD = 2.5m. \leftarrow \text{answer}
\]
The ground distance will not change even when the map is resized.
$ \therefore 2.5m. \leftarrow \text{answer} $
