Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 35 cm.
| Understanding/Application |
|
Annual snowfall received by the country = 700 cm Snowfall received by S2 = 15% of 700 = (700 × 15)/100 = 10500/100 = 105 cm Snowfall received by S3 = 20% of 700 = (700 × 20)/100 = 14000/100 = 140 cm |
| Difference between the snowfall of S2 and S3 = 140 - 105 = 35 cm |
