Question 82

At a particular time, the length of the shadow of Qutub Minar whose height is 72 m is 80 m. What will be the height of an electric pole, the length of whose shadow at the same time is 1000 cm?

Answer 1

Given, the length of Qutub Minar = 72 m
and its shadodw at particular time = 80 m
Length of shadow of electric pole = 1000 cm = 10 m
Hence, the length of the electric pole
$=\frac{72}{80}\times 10=9m$
