Once upon a time, Pankaj, Aseem and Rohit went to roam in Rome. Suddenly they found a golden colored bent rod. All of them were curious to find the length of the rod. Pankaj, measured the rod with metre tape, Aseem was a bit lazy so he used his hand to find the length of the rod and Rohit measured with thread and later he found out the length of the thread by using Pankaj's metre tape. Now can you tell who will get the most accurate length of the rod?

Solution

The correct option is B Rohit
Since the rod is not straight, rather it is bent. So correct way to measure the length of the bent rod is to use a thread from one end of rod to another and then measure the length of the thread used using a metre scale. Thus Rohit will measure the length of the rod most accurately.
