Correct option is D
Concept:
In the context of plant growth,
"successive increment" typically refers to
the gradual and consecutive increases in various aspects of a plant's development over time.
It's a form of compound growth, where the increase is applied to the original amount as well as any already accumulated increases
Solution:
If the
plant grows by 10% of its height
every three months, then it means the
plant's height after every three months will be 1.1 times its height at the beginning of those three months. So, after one year (which consists of 4 quarters), the plant's height can be calculated as follows:
After the first quarter: 1 m * 1.1 = 1.1 m
After the second quarter: 1.1 m * 1.1 = 1.21 m
After the third quarter: 1.21 m * 1.1 = 1.331 m
After the fourth quarter: 1.331 m * 1.1 =
1.4641 m
Conclusion:
So, approximately the plant's
height will be 1.464 m after one year.
