Solution

Given, the side of a square board is 50 cm.

So, perimeter of the square board = 4 × Side

= 4 × 50

= 200 cm

On drawing in the notebook, the perimeter of a square board = 40 cm

∴ Scale = `"Size of actual square board"/"Size in notebook"`

= `200/40`

= 5 : 1

Hence, the used scale is 5 : 1
