Question

The ratio of the heights of Amala and Vimala is $5:6$. If Vimala is $1.2m$ tall, then the height of Amala is

• A. $1.8m$
• B. $1.0m$
• C. $1.5m$
• D. $2.4m$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $1.0m$

Let the height of Amala be $x$.

Then, $\frac{5}{6}$ $=\frac{x}{1.2}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{5\times 1.2}{6}=1.0m$
