A contour line joins locations having the same height above the mean sea level. The following is a contour plot of a geographical region. Contour lines are shown at 25 \(m\) intervals in this plot. If in a flood, the water level rises to 525 \(m\), which of the villages \(P, Q, R, S, T\) get submerged?

Answer: C. \(R, S, T\)Given data -> height of all villages P = 575 Q = 525 R = 475 S = 425 T = 500 Villages below the flood level - 525m are R <500m 425m<= S<=450m 500m <=T<= 525m…

  1. A.

    \(P, Q\)

  2. B.

    \(P, Q, T\)

  3. C.

    \(R, S, T\)

  4. D.

    \(Q, R, S\)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Given data -> height of all villages

P = 575

Q = 525

R = 475

S = 425

T = 500

Villages below the flood level - 525m are

R <500m

425m<= S<=450m

500m <=T<= 525m

Therefore R,S,T is correct.
