Solution

The correct option is B 16 m 10 cm
Length of the ribbon = 15 m 25 cm

Sumitha runs short by 85 cm of ribbon.

The required length of ribbon
= 15 m 25 cm + 85 cm

$m c m 1525 + 85 - -------- - 15110$

But, 110 cm = 100 cm + 10 cm
= 1 m 10 cm
Therefore,
15 m 110 cm
= 15 m + 1 m + 10 cm
= 16 m 10 cm
