GMAT Question of the Day

Chandler is building a fence in the following method: He grounds 10 poles, each 10 Cm thick, in 1 meter spaces from each other. He then connects the poles with a barbed wire. What is the total length of the fence?

(a) 11.

(b) 12.

(c) 9.9.

(d) 10.

(e) 13.




The total width of the poles is (10 x 0.1 = 1) meter.

There are 9 spaces between the poles, each 1 meter, so it’s another 9 meters.

The total length is (1 + 9 = 10) meters.



The best answer is D.
