I think units are in mm not cm.

It's 10mm not 10cm.

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.

0.1 m so 10 cm.

@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.

For 12 km the difference = 1 cm.

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