Solution

The correct option is B 24 cm

To find the shortest length that can be measured exactly by using each one of these rods, we need to find the LCM of their lengths.

26,4,823,2,423,1,233,1,11,1,1

LCM =2×2×2×3=24 cm
Therefore, 24 cm is the shortest length that can be measured exactly by each one of these rods.
