The length of the shadow of a tree of height 2.6 m is 6.5 m. At the same time, the length of the shadow of a building 20.2 m high is: |
44.8 49.5 88.6 50.5 |
50.5 |
The given ratio of height and length: ⇒ Tree : Shadow = 2.6 : 6.5 = 2 : 5 *At the same time the above ratio remains same* Therefore, ratio of height and length: ⇒ Building : Shadow = 2 : 5 Here, ⇒ 2R = 20.2 ⇒ Length of shadow = 5R = \(\frac{20.2}{2}\) × 5 = 50.5 m |
