Correct Answer: 58 cm

Solution : According to the question
Average= $\frac{P+Q+R}{3}$ = 160
⇒ P + Q + R = 480
Also, $\frac{P+Q}{2}$ = 140
⇒ P + Q = 280
The average height of Qand Ris 129 cm,
⇒ $\frac{Q+R}{2}$ = 129
⇒ Q + R= 258
Now, from the above two conditions
(P + Q + R) − (P + Q) = 480 − 280
⇒ R = 200 cm
So,Q = (Q + R) − R = 258 − 200 = 58 cm
Therefore, the height of Q is58 cm.
Hence, the correct answer is 58 cm.
