Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reilly's law states that the point of indifference between two cities is located at a distance from the larger city that is equal to the square root of the ratio of the populations of the two cities. In this case, City A is 4 times greater in population than City B, so the point of indifference is located at a distance from City A that is equal to the square root of 4, which is 2. Therefore, the point of indifference is 20 miles - 2 miles = 18 miles from City A.
