Use the following information to answer the next question.

The length of a long rod is measured first by using pace-span and then, by using foot-span of a person. For the person, the length of one pace-span is four times the length of one foot-span.

If the length of the rod is 6 pace-spans, then what is the length of the rod in terms of foot-span?

Solution

The correct option is D
24

It is given that the length of one pace-span is four times the length of one foot-span. Therefore, 1 pace-span = 4 foot-spans.

Also, it is given that the length of the rod is 6 pace-spans.

Hence, 6 pace-spans = (4×6) = 24 foot-spans.

Hence, the length of the rod in terms of the foot-span is 24.
