Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 0.25 foot Given: Length of sticks are 7.5 feet ad 3.25 feet Formula used: HCF of (A/B) and (C/D) = (HCF of A and C)/(LCM of B and D) Calculation: First convert decimal into fraction ⇒ 7.5 = 75/10 = 15/2 ⇒ 3.25 = 325/100 = 13/4 Now, minimum length will be measured by HCF of {15/2, 13/4} ⇒ HCF = 1/4 = 0.25 ∴ The minimum length can be measured by two stick is 0.25 foot. |
