Question

In a game of long jump, Ravi jumped for 4.77 metres, Navi jumped 4.775 metres, Sushweta jumped 4.55 metres, Shreya jumped for 4.65 metres, Apurva jumped for 4.95 metres. Who is the winner of this game?

• A. Apurva
• B. Navi
• C. Ravi
• D. Shreya

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Apurva

Length covered by Ravi = 4.77 m
Length covered by Navi = 4.775 m
Length covered by Sushweta = 4.55 m
Length covered by Shreya = 4.65 m
Length covered by Apurva = 4.95 m
Since the ones places are same (equals to 4) for all the 4 numbers, we have to compare the tenths place after the decimal.
4.95 has 9 in tenths place after the decimal, which is the largest among the numbers.

Therefore 4.95 is the largest among the 5 numbers and hence Apurva is the winner.
