Answer:

Height of Lhotse mountain is greater than Ngadi Chuli mountain.

Height of Lhotse mountain is 632.0432 meter more than height of Ngadi Chuli mountain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of Lhotse mountain = 8516 meters

Height of Ngadi Chuli mountain = 25,866 feet

1 ft = 30.48 cm

[tex]25,866 feet =25,866\times 30.48 m=788,395.68 cm[/tex]

1 cm = 0.01 m

[tex]788,395.68 cm=788,395.68\times 0.01 m=7883.9568 m[/tex]

8516 meters > 7883.9568 m

Height of Lhotse mountain is greater than Ngadi Chuli mountain.

Difference in their height :

8516 meters -  7883.9568 m = 632.0432 m

Height of Lhotse mountain is 632.0432 meter more than height of Ngadi Chuli mountain.
