(i). Distance; (ii) Direction; (iii) Symbols Distance: Maps are drawn according to a scale. Big distances are shown in small units like centimetres, millimetres, etc. which represent the actual distance on the earth. We measure the distance between any two places on the map (in small units) and convert it to the actual distance between the same two places on the ground according to the given scale. The distance between any two places on a map, measured along a straight line, is called the map distance and the distance between the same two places on the ground measured along a straight line, is called the actual or ground distance. We use different types of scales on different types of maps. For example, on small scale map, we use 1 cm = 1000 km, i.e., 1 cm: 1000 km or 1 cm 500 km, i.e., 1 cm 500 km On large scale map we use 1 cm 1 km, i.e. 1 cm 1 km or 1 cm 200 m, i.e., 1 cm 200 m Suppose distance between two places on a map is 2.5 cm; and scale is 1 cm : 500 km, then actual distance on ground 2.5 x 500 km 1250 km"],"difficulty":"E","outcome":"book","mark":"1","question":{"title":"Answer these Questions :bsp;&nbsp;<i><i>","option":["What are the components of a map?

In the ancient and medieval period of history, monarchy or Kingship was the most common form of government whereby a King or Queen formed the government. Monarchial form of government was strengthened by the &#039;Divine Rights&#039; theory which considered kings to be the representatives of God on the earth. The monarch had the absolute right to take decisions. His word was considered law. It was a hereditary form of government in which the King or Queen inherited the throne from their father or mother. 4. Dictatorship is an antithesis of democracy. It gives no right to people, tolerates neither opposition nor criticism. It envisages one party rule, controlled by one leader with local authority. The individual, his freedom, his very thinking are controlled by the state. The motto of the dictator is &#039;Everything with in the state and nothing outside or beyond the state. 5.

It has brought political awakening in the villages. They not only elect their own representatives but also take part in making decisions in the villages. The Panchayati Raj institutions work as training grounds for the people to enable them to work as representatives of the people in State Legislature and Parliament. The Panchayats have succeeded in drawing the attention of the government officials to their problems. The system has helped in bringing about a green Revolution in many parts of the country, specially in Punjab and Haryana. Agricultural production has increased a great deal. However, there is the other side of the picture as well. Elections to Panchayati Raj institutions are marked by violence. The panchayats are elected mostly on party or caste basis and hence they do not work impartially. Most of the benefits do not reach the deserving people but arecovered by influential people. The Panchayati Raj institutions are not provided with sufficient funds. Their sources of income are very limited. Even the funds sanctioned by the government are misappropriated by the Panchayat. Therefore, to ensure proper implementation of Panchayati Raj in all the states, the ministry of Panchayat Raj looks in to all matters relating to Panchayati Raj and its institutions.
