Neco Model Questions Vol1 2023 Geography Question 48
Practice objective / multiple choice question 48 from the 2023 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Geography examination.
Three towns are located at the coordinates (in km) A\((0,0)\) with a population of \(5{,}000\), B\((8,0)\) with a population of \(3{,}000\), and C\((4,6)\) with a population of \(2{,}000\). A new central market is to be placed at the point that minimizes the sum of the population‑weighted straight‑line distances to the three towns (i.e., the weighted centroid).\n\na) Determine the optimal coordinates \((x, y)\) of the market.\n\nb) Calculate the straight‑line distance from the market to each town and then compute the total weighted distance \(\sum p_i d_i\). Round distances to two decimal places and the total weighted distance to the nearest whole number.
