Solution

We know that the height of one of the tallest persons in the world is twice that of Jhumpa. In other words, Jhumpa's height is half of the height of one of the tallest persons in the world.
Height of one of the tallest persons in the world = 272 cm
∴ Jhumpa's height = $272 \div 2$
= 136 cm
Thus, Jhumpa is 136 cm tall.
