Answer:

The answer is 1: 50000... If you look down here↓:

Step-by-step explanation:

With a scale of 1:20000, a unit length on the map represents a length of 20000. So 1 cm^2 = 1 cm* 1 cm which represents 20000*20000 cm^2 will be = 4*10^8 cm^2.

50 cm^2 represents that 4*50*10^8 cm^2 = 200* 10^8 cm^2.

Now, on the other hand, the map has the same. 200* 10^8 is represented by 8 cm^2. So the scale is sqrt [ 200* 10^8 / 8 ] = sqrt [ 25* 10^8 ] = 5* 10^4 = 50000.

Therefore the scale on the second map is 1: 50000.
