Given, below are the steps related to constructing a scale of 1:50 to show meters and decimeters and the maximum length is 5 meters. Arrange the steps i. Then divide the 1st part into 10 equal divisions ii. Determining the length of scale 1/50 x 500 cm = 10 cm iii. Determining R.F. here it is 1/50 iv. Draw a line 10 cm long and divide it to 5 equal parts

Correct Answer: iii, ii, iv, i
The general procedure involves finding R.F. at the 1st and next max length of scale and then dividing whole line into given number of units at last dividing the 1st part to number of sub-divisions that occur in the unit.
