Question

The height of 4 students Raj, Ajit, Sudhir and Kalam in (cm) are 150 cm, 152 cm, 141 cm and 144 cm respectively. Who is the tallest student?

• A. Ajit
• B. Sudhir
• C. Raj
• D. Kalam

Answer 1

The correct option is A Ajit

• Height of Raj = 150 cm
• Height of Ajit = 152 cm
• Height of Sudhir = 141 cm
• Height of kalam = 144 cm
• On comparing all four numbers we see that the hundreds place digit is same i.e 1
• Coming to the digits at the tens place there are only two digits i.e 5 and 4
• Since 5 > 4 then we will ignore 141 and 144
• Now among 150 and 152 the digit at the unit's place of 152 is greater than the digits at the unit's place of 150.
• So, Ajit is the tallest student.
