we know that contour interval=20/no of cm per km
1:10000
1cm= 0.1km
1km=10cm
therefore contour interval=20/10=2

scale : 1:10000 i.e ,
1cm in map = 10000cm in plan

now also 1 cm in map =10000cm or 0.1km inplan

also 10cm in map = 1km

i.e no of cm per km = 10

now we know from formulae contour interval (C.I)m=( 20/ (no of cm per km ))m

=20/10

=2m
