Concept- We will create equations based on the average height of each person in order to answer this problem, and then we will use those equations to determine Sanchi's height. According to the
conditions stated in the equation, those equations can be created. Similar to how the average of n
numbers can be determined by dividing the total by n.
Let S, A, C, and D be Sanchi, Arav, Charu, and Deepika’s age. Given, Sanchi and Aarav are 12P cm tall on average. Thus,

Now substituting the value of

in equation (2).

We obtain the value of S by substituting the value of A into equation (1):

Sanchi's height is 10P as a result.
Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
