A contour line joins locations having the same height above the mean sea level. The following is a contour plot of a geographical region. Contour lines are shown at 25 m intervals in this plot. If in a flood, the water level rises to 525 m, which of the villages P, Q, R, S, T get submerged?

A contour line joins locations having the same height above the mean sea level. The following is a contour plot of a geographical region. Contour lines are shown at 25 m intervals in this plot. If in a flood, the water level rises to 525 m, which of the villages P, Q, R, S, T get submerged? Correct Answer R, S, T

Explanation:

Heights of all the villages according to the given data is :

As contour lines are shown at 25 m intervals.

Height of P = more than 550

Height of Q = between 525 and 550

Height of R = between 450 and 500

Height of S = between 425 and 450

Height of T = between 500 and 525

The water level is 525 m. All the villages below this water level height get submerged.

So, the answer is R, S, and T.
