QUESTION :

Kartik gave 4 m long cloth to the tailor. The tailor used 1.5 m to make his kurta and 2 m to make his pyjamas. How much cloth will be left after the kurta and pyjamas are stitched?

SOLUTION :

• Total meter of cloth given by Kartik to the tailor = 4m.

• 1.5m was used for kurta.

• 2m was used for pyjama.

LEFT OVER CLOTH :

=> 4 - ( 1.5 + 2 )

=> 4 - 3.5

=> 0.5 m

Therefore, 0.5 m of cloth was left.
