Question

Adam,Josh and Jeremy is on a straight line. Adam is 1½m shorter than Jeremy and Josh is ⅚m shorter shorter than Jeremy. If Josh is 2⅓m tall. What is the height of Adam?

Answer 1

Given:

Height of Josh = 2⅓m => 7/2m

Solution:

Let height of Jeremy = x

So, Height of Adam = (x-1½)m => (x-3/2)m

And, Height of Josh = (x-5/6)m

Now, A.T.Q.

Height of Josh = 7/2

=> x-5/6 = 7/2

=> x = 7/2+5/6

=> x = 21+5/6

=> x = 26/6

=> x = 13/3 m

=> Height of Jeremy is 13/3 m.

Now, Height of Adam = (x-3/2)m

=> 13/3-3/2 m

=> 26-9/6 m

=> 17/6 m

Hence, Height of Adam is 17/6 m = 2.8 m.
