Solution

The correct option is C 4 inches
Length of the eraser = 2 inches
Length of the notebook = 1 foot = 12 inches
Now, the pencil is smaller than half the notebook, which means smaller than 6 inches.
The length of the pencil is almost double the length of the eraser.
Hence, the length of the pencil is 4 inches.
Option B is correct.
