The wool of a vicuna is finer than any other wool. The hair of this animal can be as thin as 0.000006 meters. If the average thickness of human hair is approximately 8.4 × 10-5 meters, what is the difference of the thickness of a human hair and a vicuna hair?




A.2.4 × 10-5 meters




B.2.4 × 10-6 meters




C.7.8 × 10-6 meters




D.7.8 × 10-5 meters

Verified Answer :

Answer: \(7.8 \times 10^{-5} \text{ meters}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a vicuna hair = 0.000006 = \(0.6 \times 10^{-5}\)

And, the length of the a human hair = \(8.4\times 10^{-5}\)

Thus, the difference between the human hair and vicuna hair

\(= 8.4\times 10^{-5}-0.6\times 10^{-5}\)

\(=10^{-5}(8.4-0.6)\)

\(=10^{-5}(7.8)\)

\(=7.8\times 10^{-5}\)

⇒ Option D is correct.
