Solution

The correct option is B 1.89 feet
Height of Basketball hoop = 9.45 feet
Athil can jump upto 7.56 feet. So the remaining height of Athil from the hoop will be the difference between 9.45 feet and 7.56 feet.
For that we must align tenths and hundredths digits together and then subtract.

So,
9.457.56=1.89 feet.
