The larger scale is 120000 because it has more centimeters in the real world (120000 vs 12000) per one centimeter on map. The difference in km is


"d=60\u00b7(120000-12000)\/100000=64.8\\text{ km}"

along the longer side of the map and


"d=55\u00b7(120000-12000)\/100000=59.4\\text{ km}"

along the shorter side of the map.

The map with 1:120000 scale shows the larger area.
