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. Which of the following is the steepest path leaving from P?

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. Which of the following is the steepest path leaving from P? Correct Answer P to R

The steepest path will be the one where there will be maximum number of contour lines.

P to Q → 4 contour lines

P to R → 7 contour lines

P to S → 3 contour lines

P to T → 3 contour lines

Hence, steepest path is from P to R.
