Question

If a steel rod of length 20326 m is cut out to form a rod of length 5615 m then what is the remaining length of the rod?
1. 14,345 m
2. 15,456 m
3. 14,711 m
4. 16,231 m

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 14,711 m

Given:

A steel rod of length = 20326 m

Cut out from a rod length = 5615 m

Calculation

Total length of the rod = 20,326 m

Portion that is cut off = 5,615 m

Remaining portion of the rod = 20,326 – 5,615

⇒ 14,711 m

Hence, the remaining portion of the rod is 14,711 m
