Explanation:

♦ Solution ♦ :-

Given Information :

The ratio of heights of the two girls = 5:7

Assumption

Consider their height be 5X cm and 7X cm

The height of the first girl = 5X cm

But According to the condition mentioned in given problem

The height of the first girl = 192 cm

=> 5X = 192

=> X = 192/5

=> X = 38.4

Therefore, X = 38.4 cm

Now the height of the second girl = 7X cm

=> 7 × 38.4 cm

=> 268.8 cm

♦ Alternative Method♦ :-

The ratio of the heights of the two girls = 5:7

The height of the first girl = 192 cm

Assume that the height of the second girl = X cm

Therefore, 5:7= 192:X

=> 5/7 = 192/X

=> 5X = 7×192

=> X = (7×192)/5

=> X = 7× 38.4

=> x = 268.8 cm

♦ Answer ♦ :-

The height of the second girl is 268.7 cm
