Solution
The distance between Multan and Delhi along the route shown on the map is approximately 420-450 miles (about 320 miles if measured in a straight line).
Step-by-Step Calculation Method:
- Understand the Scale: The linear scale bar at the bottom right indicates that 1 unit length on your ruler equals 100 miles on the ground.
- Measure the Route: If you trace a piece of string along the red travel path from Multan → Ajudahan → Abohar → Sarasati → Hansi → Delhi, it measures slightly longer than the total 300-mile scale bar.
- Convert to Miles: Matching that total path length against the scale bar gives a travel route distance of roughly 420-450 miles.
