Solution
Let
the
height
of
the
tree
whose
length
of
the
shadow
is
45
m
be
x
m
.
Now
,
it
is
given
that
length
of
the
shadow
of
a
coconut
tree
of
height
10
m
is
25
m
.
In tabular form,
height of tree (in metres)
10
x
length of shadow (in metres)
25
45
Since
at
the
same
time
,
height
of
tree
and
length
of
shadow
varies
directly
,
so
10
25
=
x
45
⇒
25
x
=
450
⇒
x
=
450
25
⇒
x
=
18
So
,
height
of
tree
is
18
m
whose
length
of
shadow
is
45
m
.
