Question

In a triple jump competition, jumps of four boys are marked as follows.

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Name}& \text{Distance jumped}\\ \text{Shubham}& 12\text{m}48\text{cm}\\ \text{Rajat}& 13\text{m}13\text{cm}\\ \text{Vyom}& 12\text{m}50\text{cm}\\ \text{Anuj}& 13\text{m}08\text{cm}\end{array}$

What is the increasing order of the lengths of the triple jumps?

• A. Shubham < Rajat < Vyom < Anuj
• B. Rajat < Shubham < Anuj < Vyom
• C. Shubham < Vyom < Anuj < Rajat
• D. Rajat < Anuj < Vyom < Shubham

Answer 1

The correct option is C Shubham < Vyom < Anuj < Rajat

The lengths of the triple jumps by 4 boys are given.

Shubham jumps 12 m 48 cm which is the shortest.
Vyom jumps 12 m 50 cm is next to the shortest.
Anuj jumps 13 m 08 cm which second longest.
Rajat jumps 13 m 13 cm which is longest.

So, the increasing order is 12 m 48 cm < 12 m 50 cm < 13 m 08 cm < 13 m 13 cm

Thus, Shubham < Vyom < Anuj < Rajat
