Option 2 : 1.98 m
Given:
The stick was broken into two parts which have lengths in the ratio 7 ∶ 11.
The length of the smaller part was 77 cm
Formula used:
100 cm = 1m
Calculation:
Let the common ratio be Q.
Now, the length of the two parts of the stick are 7Q and 11Q cm.
According to the question,
7Q = 77
⇒ Q = 77/7
⇒ Q = 11
Now, the length of the unbroken stick
⇒ 7Q + 11Q
⇒ 18Q
⇒ 18 × 11 (∵ Q = 11)
⇒ 198 cm
⇒ 1.98 m
∴ The length of the unbroken stick is 1.98 m.
