The lengths of four pencils are measured using a large scale. Which of them is longest if head and tip of the pencil is at:
11cm and 31 cm
1cm and 21cm
9 cm and 30 cm
5cm and 24 cm
9 cm and 30 cm
Length of first pencil = 21 - 1 = 20 cm.
Length of second pencil = 24 - 5 = 19 cm.
Length of third pencil = 31 - 11 = 20 cm.
Length of fourth pencil = 30 - 9 = 21 cm.
Thus, fourth pencil is longest.
