a flagstaff 17.5 m high casts a shadow of length 40.25 m . what will be the height of a building , which casts a shadow of length 28.75 m under similar conditions ?
[ "12.5 m", "10.5 m", "14", "12" ]
A
explanation : let the required height of the building be x meter more shadow length , more height ( direct proportion ) hence we can write as ( shadow length ) 40.25 : 28.75 : : 17.5 : x ⇒ 40.25 × x = 28.75 × 17.5 ⇒ x = 28.75 × 17.5 / 40.25 = 2875 × 175 / 40250 = 2875 × 7 / 1610 = 2875 / 230 = 575 / 46 = 12.5 answer : ...
