Question

The length of string of Kite A is 6008 cm and that of Kite B is 7998 cm. Which kite is flying higher and by how much?

• A. Kite A by 19 m 90 cm
• B. Kite B by 19 m 90 cm
• C. Kite A by 1990 m
• D. Kite B by 1990 m

Answer 1

The correct option is B Kite B by 19 m 90 cm

Length of string of Kite A = 6008 cm
Length of string of Kite B = 7998 cm

We observe, 7998 cm > 6008 cm.
So, Kite B is flying at a greater height.

Now, subtract the two values to get the difference.


We know, 100 cm = 1 m
$\text{1990 cm = 1900 cm + 90 cm = 19 m + 90 cm}$

∴ Kite B is flying higher by 19 m 90 cm.
