Question

The given figure has a scale where two line segments are drawn, find the difference in the length of these two lines.

A.1cm
B.2cm
C.3cm
D.4cm

Answer 1

Hint: The given figure shows a scale marking with the numeric digits, here this scale may be of any unit, but we have to solve for the difference between the line segments given, so no issue with the units, now to get the solution we need to see the markings which the line segments are making on the figure.

Complete step-by-step answer:
 The given question need to find the difference between the line segments which are shown on the given scale in the picture, in order to solve it we need to find the total length of both the lines, then after we can find the difference between those line to get the solution of the question, on solving we get:
Line A length=\[9\,units\]
Line B length=\[5\,units\]
Now on solving for the difference between the length of the line segment we obtain,
\[ \Rightarrow 9\,unit - 5\,units = 4\,units\]
Hence the answer for the given question is four centimeter.
So, the correct answer is “Option D”.

Note: Here the given question is of finding the difference between the two line segments shown on the on some scale, in order to solve it you first need to find the total length of both the line segments and then after simple simplification that is by finding difference of these two line segments you can get the solution.
