In a medical certificate, by mistake a candidate gave his height as 25% more than actual. In the interview panel, he clarified that his height was 55 ft 5 inches. What is the percentage correction made by the candidate from his stated height to his actual height?
Actual/clarified height = X = 5.5
Mistaken height = 1.25 X = 6.875
Percentage correction = (6.875-5.5)/6.875
= 20%
