Solution

The correct option is C 18
To get the number of segments required from the rope, we need to divide the length of the rope with the length of a segment.

Number of segments = $\frac{L e n g t h o f r o p e}{L e n g t h o f s e g m e n t}$
= 14 ÷ $\frac{7}{9}$
= 14 × $\frac{9}{7}$
= 2 × 9
= 18
