For 12 km the difference = 1 cm.

So for 18.2 km = 18. 2-1/12 = 1.52 cm = 15 mm.

@Raihan.

Number of the difference between the arc length and its subtended chord on the earth surface for a distance of 18.2 km is 0.1 m. So the correct option is (c) 10 cm.

0.1 m so 10 cm.

But in a book of surveying, the difference is 1cm for 12 km distance so how it is possible to 10 cm for 18.2 km? As per book answer will be 1.5 cm.

I think units are in mm not cm.

It's 10mm not 10cm.

Ashu said:   8 years ago
10mm = 1 cm is the correct answer.

ARVIND said:   8 years ago
IT SHOULD BE 15mm.

For 12km=10mm (as per BC PUNMIA).
So,for 18.2 km = 15mm.

The correct answer must 15mm.

Avinash Gund said:   8 years ago
For 18.2 km 10 mm is correct.
For 18.5km 15 mm is correct.

Angel said:   8 years ago
I think, 10mm is correct.
