Correct Answer: 0.25 m


Solution : To find the greatest possible length that can be used to exactly measure the lengths 6 m, 5 m 25 cm, and 12 m 50 cm.
6 m = 600 cm
5 m 25 cm = 525 cm
12 m 50 cm = 1250 cm
The highest common factor (HCF) of 600, 525, and 1250 is 25 (in cm).
1 m = 100 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 0.25 m
