Answer:

We can find the height of the man by forming 2 equations with the given information.

Let us consider;

M= Height of the man

L = length of the Block &

H = height of the block.

In first case we can write;

M – L +H = 166 &

In second case we can write

M – H + L = 192.

Adding these 2 equations we get;

2M = 358

Therefore;

Height of the Man = M = 179
