Question

Raghu bought 10 m 25 cm of cloth. He used 4 m 75 cm from it. How much cloth is left?

• A. 6m 70 cm
• B. 5m 50 cm
• C. 2m 67 cm
• D. 1m 75 cm

Answer 1

The correct option is B 5m 50 cm

We know that 1 m = 100 cm
10m = 1000 cm
4m = 400 cm

Cloth bought by Raghu = 10 m 25 cm = 1000 + 25 = 1025 cm
Cloth used by him = 4 m 75 cm = 400 + 75 = 475 cm
Cloth left = 1025 - 475 = 550 cm

We know 100 cm = 1 m
Hence 550 cm = 500 + 50 = 5m 50 cm
