Q: A TV tower 36 m high cast a shadow of 24 m at a particular time of a day what is the height of a minar with the three metre atop it,if both of these together shadow of 50 m at the same time of the day [MBA 2002]

Answer: B

Explanation:

solution

let the height of the minar with flagstaff be x metre.More length shadow,more is the height (direct proportional)

24:50::36:x

24x=50×36

x=50×36/24 =75

hence height of the minar=(75-3) =72m

Chain Rule
