The school at Malappuram has its sports day. The first event is long jump.
$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Name}& \text{Jump (in metres)}\\ \text{Teena}& 3.50\text{m}\\ \text{Meena}& 4.05\text{m}\\ \text{Rehana}& 4.50\text{m}\\ \text{Anu}& 3.05\text{m}\end{array}$
Who jumped the longest?

• A. Teena
• B. Meena
• C. Rehana
• D. Anu

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rehana

The jumps by four children are given.
We wil compare the numbers to find which child jumped the farthest.
So, let us compare 3.50, 4.05, 4.50, 3.05
4 > 3
So, 4.05 and 4.50 are larger than 3.50 and 3.05
Let us compare 4.05 and 4.50
4.05 has 0 tenths while 4.50 has 5 tenths.
So, 4.50 > 4.05

So, 4.50 is the largest among the given numbers.

Thus, Rehana jumped the longest.
