NECO Geography 2025 Objective — Question 3

Question 3 of 50 from the National Examinations Council (NECO) Geography 2025 Objective paper, with the correct answer and a full explanation.

If the map is enlarged to twice its original size, what would be the new scale?

A. 1:400,000
B. 1:300,000
C. 1:150,000
D. 1:100,000Correct

Explanation

When a map is enlarged, the real-world distance represented by each centimeter shrinks. Doubling the map's size changes the scale from 1:200,000 to 1:100,000, meaning each centimeter now represents 1km instead of 2km.
