with explanation plz is too urgent give me the answer​

Answer 1

Given: Tinu jumps 1/4th of his height to reach his father's height. His father is 180 cm tall

To find: Tinu's height

Explanation: Let Tinu's height be x.

Extra height Tinu jumps= (1/4)x = x/4( since he jumps to 1/4th of his height)

Now,

Tinu's height+ extra height he jumps= His father's height

=> x + x/4 = 180

=> 5x/4 = 180

=> x = (180*4)/5

=> x = 144 cm

Extra height jumped= x/4 = 144/4

= 36 cm

Total height= 144+36= 180 cm which is same as his father's height.

Therefore, Tinu's height is 144 cm.
