Answer 1

here is an easy trick to use for problems like this. since you are not told what either height is, lets put Keith's height at 100 and 75% of 100 is 75, so Van's height is 175

Answer 2

that was wrong. Van increased by 40% and
\[1.4\times 175=254\] whereas Keith increased by 25% and
\[1.25\times 100=125\]
