Answer 1

Answer: (C)

(A) Total length of cloth Tina had $=1566$cm $=15.56$m
Length of cloth she cut from it $=13$m $50$cm
$=13.50$m
$\therefore$ Length of cloth left with her $=15.56-13.50$
$=2.06$m
(B) Total weight of vegetables Neetu bought $=500g+250g+700g+500g+100g+300g=2350$g i.e., $2.350$kg
(C) Total amount spent by Rita$=Rs.(117.35+50.75)=Rs.168.10$
Amount left will Rita $=Rs.(500-168.10)$
$=Rs.331.90$
(D) Total distance covered by Yashika $=20$km $50$m $=20.050$km
Distance covered by auto $=20.050-(1+15)=20.050-16=4.05$km
So, option (C) is incorrect.
