When asked to measure the heights of the students in groups; Group 1, which consists of 4 students found the following results. Nirmal is 8 cm taller than Dinesh. Shima is 4 cm shorter than Selma. Dinesh is 2 cm taller than Shima. If Selma is 138 cm tall, what will be the height of Nirmal? Correct Answer 144 cm

Given:

Height of Selma = 138 cm

Calculation:

Height of Selma = 138 cm

∴ Shima is 4 cm shorter than Selma. 

The height of Shima = 138 - 4 = 134 cm

∴ Dinesh is 2 cm taller than Shima.

The height of Dinesh = 134 + 2 = 136 cm

Nirmal is 8 cm taller than Dinesh.

∴ The hight of Nirmal = 136 + 8 = 144 cm

∴ The hight of Nirmal is 144 cm.
