We have to find, the value of 4/7 of 560 - 5/8 of 400.4/7 x 560 - 5/8 x 400 = (4 x 80) - (5 x 50) = 320 - 250 = 70Hence, four-seventh of 560 is greater than five-eighth of 400 by 70.
Let the length of lamppost = L mThen,first part = L/3and second part = (3/8) x L/3 = L/8 and third part = 6 m 50 cm = 6.50 mFirst part + second part + Third part = length of lamppost ⇒ L/3 + L/8 + 6.5 = L ⇒ L - L/3 - L/8 =6.5 ⇒ (24L - 8L - 3L)/24 = 6.5 ⇒ 13L/24 = 6.5 ∴ L = (65.x 24)/13 = 12 m
