1: Engineering scale AY 2023-24 Semester -1 (Civil) Date: 11/09/2023


Examples on plain scale
1 Construct a scale of 1:60 to show metres and decimetres and long enough to measure up to 6 metres. Mark on it a
distance of 4.7 m. [RGPV June 2009]

2 Construct a scale of 1 cm = 1 m to read metres and decimetres and long enough to measure up to 14
metres. Show on this a distance equal to 12.4 m. [RGPV June 2007]

3 A length of 1 decametre is represented by 5 cm. Find the R.F. and construct a plain scale to measure up to
2.5 decametre and mark a distance of 19 m on it.

4 Construct a scale of 1:54 to show yards and feet and long enough to measure 9 yards.

5 In a map of Bhopal, a distance of 36 km between two localities is shown by a line of 45 cm long.


Calculate its R.F. and construct a plain scale to read kilometres and hectometres. Show a distance of 9.3
km on it. assume maximum length 10km

[RGPV April 2

Ex on Diagonal scale
6 A map is to be drawn with R.F. 1:40. Construct a scale to read metres, decimetres and centimetres and
long enough to measure up to 6 m. Show on it a distance of 3.84 m. [RGPV Dec. 2008]

7 Construct a diagonal scale showing kilometre, hectometre and decametre in which a 2 cm long line represents 1

kilometre, and the scale is long enough to measure up to 7 kilometres. Find representative fraction and mark a
distance of 4 kilometre 5 hectometre 3 decametre on it.

8 Draw a diagonal scale of R.F. 3:100 showing metres, decimetres and centimetres and to measure up to 5
metres. Show a length of 3.69 metres on it. [RGPV June 2009]

9 Construct a scale to be used with a map; the scale of which is 1 cm = 500 m. The maximum length to be
read is 5 km. Mark on the scale a distance of 3.85 km. [RGPV Aug. 2010]

Page 5 of 12
10 The distance between two cities A and B is 300 km, its equivalent distance on the map measures only 6
cm. What is the R.F.? Draw a diagonal scale to show hundreds of kilometres, tens of kilometres and
kilometres. Indicate on the scale, the following distances: 525 km, 313 km and 258 km.

[RGPV June 2006]


Ex on Comparative or corresponding scale

11 On a railway map, an actual distance of 36 miles between two stations is represented by a 10 cm long line.
Draw a plain scale to show mile and long enough to read up to 60 miles. Also draw a comparative scale
attached to it to show kilometre and read up to 90 km. Take 1 mile = 1609 metres.

Page 6 of 12
12 What is the R.F. of a scale which measures one-eighth inches to a mile? Draw plain comparative scales of
two units to measure up to 60 miles and 100 km. Take 1 mile = 1.609 km.

13 A car is running at a speed of 50 km/hr. Construct a diagonal scale to show 1 km by 3 cm and to measure
up to 6 km. Mark also on the scale the distance covered by the car in 5 minutes 28 seconds.

[RGPV June 2006]

Page 8 of 12
15 On a road map a scale of miles is shown. on measuring from this scale a distance of 25 miles is shown by a line
10 cm long. construct a scale to read miles and to measure upto 40 miles. Construct a comparative scale,
attached to this scale, to read kilometer upto 60 kilometers. 1 mile = 1.609 km

16 Construct a scale of chords showing 50 division.
