Solution

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
1990 cm = 1900 cm + 90 cm = 19 m + 90 cm

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