Question

Ram is $5\frac{1}{4}\text{feet}$ tall and Shyam height is $1\frac{1}{7}$ times of Ram. What is the height of Shyam ?

• A. $5\text{feet}$
• B. $5\frac{5}{21}\text{feet}$
• C. $6\text{feet}$
• D. $6\frac{8}{21}\text{feet}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $6\text{feet}$

Given, Ram's height $=5\frac{1}{4}\text{feet}=\frac{21}{4}\text{feet}$
According to the question :
Shyam's Height $=1\frac{1}{7}\times \left(\text{Ram's height}\right)$
$=\frac{8}{7}\times \frac{21}{4}\text{feet}=\frac{8\times 21}{7\times 4}=6\text{feet}$
