Question

The following picture is a miniature version of a drawing that Ram did.

If the height of the actual drawing is 56 cm, what is the length of Ram’s actual drawing?

• A. 84 cm
• B. 47 cm
• C. 58 cm
• D. 92 cm

Answer 1

The correct option is A

84 cm

Let the length of Ram’s actual drawing be x cm.

Then we have $4:6::56:x$.

i.e.,$\frac{4}{6}=\frac{56}{x}$

$⟹4x=6\times 56$

$⟹x=\frac{6\times 56}{4}$

$⟹x$ = 84 cm.
