Question

There are four members in Ajay’s family. Ajay’s father’s height is 165.46 cm, his mother’s height is 160.56 cm. Ajay’s height is 169.86 cm and his brother’s height is 169.68 cm. Who is the tallest member of the family?

• A. Ajay
• B. Ajay's father
• C. Ajay's mother
• D. Ajay's brother

Answer 1

The correct option is A Ajay

Member	Height in cm
Ajay's father	165.46
Ajay's mother	160.56
Ajay	169.86
Ajay's brother	169.68

Now, let’s compare the digits before the decimal first. Amongst them 169 is the greatest.
So, let’s look at the digit in the tenth’s place the numbers 169.86 and 169.68. Obviously 8 is greater than 6. So, 169.86 is greater than 169.68.
Hence, Ajay is the tallest in his family.
