Detailed Solution

Concept- In order to obtain the desired result, we must first determine the distance in kilometres between Jatinder's home and the school using the provided map.
In the particle map, one unit of distance corresponds to one million units of actual distance.
Let, x be the distance
1:100000 = 2.5 cm:x
x = 2.5 ×100000
x= 2500000 cm
x= 2.5 km
Thus, Jatinder's home is 2.5 kilometres from the school.
Hence the correct answer is option 1.
