Answer: 1.8 m

Explanation:

The original height is taken as 100 % , since the height increased by 20 % , this means that the new height is 120% of the original height. That

120% of 1.5

which is


(120)/(100) x 1.5

1.5 could be written as 15/ 10 in fraction , so we have


(120)/(100) x
(15)/(10)

=
(6)/(5) x
(15)/(10)

=
(18)/(10)

= 1.8

Therefore Arnav is 1.8m today
