Solution

The correct option is D 5 m 20 cm
Distance covered by Nikhil = 3 m 50 cm
1 m = 100 cm
Distance covered by Rohit's jump = 60 cm more than Nikhil's jump
= 60 cm + 3 m 50 cm
= 60 cm + 300 cm + 50 cm
= 410 cm

Distance covered by Shashi's jump = 1 m 10 cm more Rohit's jump
= 1 m 10 cm + 410 cm
= 100 cm + 10 cm + 410 cm
= 520 cm
= 500 cm + 20 cm
= 5 m 20 cm
