Question

Which of the following gives the difference in the sizes of the two specimens?

• A. $\text{0}.988mm$
• B. $\text{0}.999mm$
• C. $\text{1}.999mm$
• D. $\text{0}.888mm$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\text{0}.999mm$

Size of specimen 1:

There are 1 cube, 1 rod and 2 units.

This is equivalent to 1.012.

Size of specimen 2:

There are 2 cubes, 1 rod and 1 unit.

This represents 2.011

Hence, the difference in the size is,

= 2.011 - 1.012

= 0.999

Hence, the difference in the sizes of two specimen is 0.999 mm
