Correct Answer: 1 m 20 cm
Solution : According to the question Length = 6 m = 6 ×100 cm = 600 cm Breadth = 4.80 m = 4.80 × 100 cm = 480 cm Height = 3.60 m = 3.60 × 100 cm = 360 cm Find the prime factors of the numbers. Length = 600 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 5 Breadth = 480 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 Height = 360 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 Longest tape = Highest common factor (HCF) of the room's height, length, and breadth. ⇒ HCF = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 120 cm = 1 m 20 cm Hence, the correct answer is 1 m 20 cm.
