Solution

The correct option is C 21
The length of the telescope is 14.7 metres.

To convert from metres to centimetres, follow the process:


So, 1 m =100 cm.

14.7 m =14.7×100=1470 cm.

Now, the telescope has a sensor at every 70 cm distance throughout its length of 1470 cm.

So, the total number of sensors is given by =1470 ÷70.

Here, dividend =1470.
Divisor =70.

The dividend 1470 can be written in the expaned form as 1470=1000+400+70.

So, calculating =1470 ÷70 using the "box method",

Adding the partial quotients, you get the final quotient as: 10+10+1=21.

So, 1470 ÷70=21.

Therefore, the telescope will have 21 sensors in total throughout its length.
