Correct Answer: 58 cm
Solution : According to the question Average = $\frac{P+Q+R}{3}$ = 160 ⇒ P + Q + R = 480 Also, $\frac{P+Q}{2}$ = 140 ⇒ P + Q = 280 The average height of Q and R is 129 cm, ⇒ $\frac{Q+R}{2}$ = 129 ⇒ Q + R = 258 Now, from the above two conditions (P + Q + R) − (P + Q) = 480 − 280 ⇒ R = 200 cm So, Q = (Q + R) − R = 258 − 200 = 58 cm Therefore, the height of Q is 58 cm. Hence, the correct answer is 58 cm.
