Question

(A). Kodad
(B). Suryapet
(C). Cannot be determined
(D). Both are having same distance

Answer 1

Hint: These questions are based on the observations of the students. You can answer these types of questions by arranging the cities in increasing distance from the city we have taken as a frame of reference or origin.

Complete step-by-step solution -
So by observing the given diagram first we will write the names of the city with maximum distance from Vijayawada and the city with minimum distance from Vijayawada
The nearest city from the Vijayawada is Nandigama and city with the maximum distance from Vijayawada is Hyderabad
According to the given diagram, Suryapet is the closest city from Hyderabad as compare to Kodad let it be statement 1
And we know that by the given diagram Kodad is the nearest city from Nandigama as compare to Suryapet and this be statement 2
So by comparing the statement 1 and statement 2
We can say that Suryapet is farther than Kodad from Vijayawada.
Hence option B is the correct option.

Note: In the above question we used a term frame of reference which is a concept of physics but is a basic concept which can help you to solve these types of questions, so let’s find out what is the concept of the frame of reference; So the frame of reference is the point of observation with respect to which you relate the differences in other bodies for example when you have 2 weight in your both hands 1 is of 4 kg and one is 5kg so when you say that your hand with weight 5kg is heavier to compare you take the hand with weight 4kg as reference.
