A tree of height 50m was cut so that the height of the tree gets reduced by 10%. Find the present height of the tree.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 45 m
10% of 50 = (10/100) × 50 =50/10 = 5
Thus, the reduction is the height of the tree = 5 m
The new height of the tree = 50 - 5 = 45 m
