 According to the question,p −  p + p + p + p + p + p  = 12.08 10 20 30 40 50 60 p  1 −  60 + 30 + 20 + 15 + 12 + 10   = 12.08 600 p  1 − 147  = 12.08 600 p  600 − 147  = 12.08 600 
 Correct Option: ALet the length of the rod be p metres. 
 According to the question,p −  p + p + p + p + p + p  = 12.08 10 20 30 40 50 60 p  1 −  60 + 30 + 20 + 15 + 12 + 10   = 12.08 600 p  1 − 147  = 12.08 600 p  600 − 147  = 12.08 600 ⇒ p × 453 = 12.08 600 ⇒ p = 12.08 × 600 = 16 m. 453
