(B) 2.25cm
Explanation:
Given:
At 40 hours, the height of the bamboo plant is 2.1cm
At 50 hours, the height of the bamboo plant is 2.4cm
Height of the bamboo plant after 45 hours = ?
The difference in length from 40 to 50 hours = 2.4 - 2.1cm
= 0.3 cm
Mean of 40 and 50 is 45.
Thus,
At 45 hours, the height will increase by 0.3/2
= 0.15 cm
Height at 45 hour = 2.1 + 0.15cm
= 2.25cm
Therefore, the height of the plant after 45 hours is 2.25cm
