Two people measure each other's height, the height of the taller person is H and the height of the other person is L. If the difference in their heights is equal to the average height, what is the value of H/L?
A. 1/3
B. 1/2
C. 2
D. 3
E. 6
The OA is D.
I get the solution as follow,
$$H-L=\frac{H+L}{2}$$
$$2H-2L=H+L\Rightarrow \ H=3L\Rightarrow \ \frac{H}{L}=3$$
Is there another approach to solve this PS question? Can any experts help, please? Thanks!
