Question

4 children were recording how long they can jump while standing at one position.

Neeraj - 1 m 45 cm
Vikram - 94 cm
Pranay - 1 m
Vijay - 1 m 12 cm

Which of the following is the correct increasing order for the length of jumps by the children?

• A. Neeraj < Vikram < Pranay < Vijay
• B. Vikram < Pranay < Vijay < Neeraj
• C. Vijay < Vikram < Pranay < Neeraj
• D. Vikram < Pranay < Neeraj < Vijay

Answer 1

The correct option is B Vikram < Pranay < Vijay < Neeraj

The length of the jumps made by the children is as follows:

Neeraj - 1 m 45 cm
Vikram - 94 cm
Pranay - 1 m
Vijay - 1 m 12 cm

Let us convert all the length in the same unit of measurement that is cm.
(1 m = 100 cm)
Neeraj = 1 m 45 cm = 100 cm + 45 cm = 145 cm
Vikram = 94 cm
Pranay = 1 m = 100 cm
Vijay = 1 m 12 cm = 100 cm + 12 cm = 112 cm

So, out of the following lengths, 94 is the smallest, followed by 100 cm and the longest length is 145 cm.

So, 94 cm < 100 cm < 112 cm < 145 cm

Thus, the increasing order of the jumps made by the students is as follows,
Vikram < Pranay < Vijay < Neeraj
