Step 1: Identify the type of scale for A, B, C, and D.
Based on the previous context and the definitions of scale types:
- A: 1:50000 is a Ratio scale (or Numerical scale).
- B: A bar scale is a Graphic scale (or Bar scale).
- C: 1cm=2,5 km is a Verbal scale (or Statement scale).
- D: 1:200 is a Ratio scale (or Numerical scale).
1.2A:Ratioscale
1.2B:Graphicscale
1.2C:Verbalscale
1.2D:Ratioscale
Step 2: Evaluate the learner's claim about Scale A and Scale D.
The learner claims that Scale A (1:50000) and Scale D (1:200) are the same type of scale. Both are expressed as numerical ratios.
- Agreement: Yes, I agree.
- Reason: Both Scale A and Scale D are ratio scales (also known as numerical scales or representative fractions) because they express the relationship between map distance and ground distance as a fraction or ratio.

Step 3: Convert Scale C (1cm=2,5 km) into a ratio scale.
To convert a verbal scale to a ratio scale, both sides of the equation must be in the same units.
We know that 1km=1000 m and 1m=100 cm.
Therefore, 1km=1000×100cm=100000 cm.
Now, convert 2,5 km to centimeters:
2,5km=2,5×100000cm=250000 cm
So, the verbal scale 1cm=2,5 km becomes 1cm=250000 cm.
The ratio scale is 1:250000.
Working:
1cm=2,5 km
1km=100000 cm
2,5km=2,5×100000 cm
2,5km=250000 cm
Therefore, 1cm=250000 cm
1.4Answer:ScaleCasaratio=1:250000
Step 4: Explain the difference between a 'small-scale map' (Scale A: 1:50000) and a 'large-scale map' (Scale D: 1:200) in terms of detail.
- A small-scale map (like 1:50000) has a small representative fraction (e.g., 500001). This means a small unit on the map represents a large distance on the ground. Consequently, it covers a large geographical area but shows less detail.
- A large-scale map (like 1:200) has a large representative fraction (e.g., 2001). This means a small unit on the map represents a small distance on the ground. Consequently, it covers a small geographical area but shows more detail, such as individual buildings or specific features.
