Question

On comparing the area covered (in yellow colour) by the waste management plants shaded, the area covered by

• A. Plant A < Plant B
• B. Plant A = Plant B
• C. Plant A > Plant B

Answer 1

The correct option is A Plant A < Plant B


Plant A
$\text{Area as a fraction}=\frac{32}{100}$

$\text{Area as a decimal}=0.32$


Plant B
$\text{Area as a fraction}=\frac{36}{100}$

$\text{Area as a decimal}=0.36$

Coparing the decimals, we get,


Starting from the left, the first place with different digits is at hundredths place.

In the hundredths place, you have, $2<6$.

So, $0.32<0.36$

∴ The area covered by$\text{Plant}A<\text{Plant}B$
