    What will be the length of the shadow of the tower when Vijay's house casts a shadow of 12 m?

    A) 75m

    B) 50m

    C) 45m

    D) 60

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given AB = 12 m, let AC = h
    In similar \[\Delta ABE\]and \[\Delta ACD\],
    \[\frac{AB}{AC}=\frac{BE}{CD}\Rightarrow \,\,\frac{12}{h}=\frac{20}{100}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,h=\frac{12\times 100}{20}=12\times 5=60\,m\]
