Correct Answer :

Option D

237m

237m

Solution :

The correct option is 237m.

Let us break down the information step-by-step to find the sum of the heights of B and D:

Step 1: Determine the height of A
- We are given that six persons (A, B, C, D, E, and F) have different heights.
- A is the 2nd tallest person among them.
- The height of the 2nd tallest person is 177 cm. Therefore, the height of A is 177 cm.

Step 2: Find the height of D
We are given that the sum of the heights of A and D is 300 cm:

Height of A+Height of D=300

Substitute the height of A (177 cm) into the equation:

177+Height of D=300

Height of D=300-177

Height of D=123 cm

Step 3: Calculate the sum of the heights of B and D
- The height of B is given as 114 cm.
- Now, we add the heights of B and D:

Sum=Height of B+Height of D

Sum=114+123

Sum=237 cm

Thus, the sum of the heights of B and D is 237 cm (which is written as 237m in the options list).
