A vertical stick 12 cm long casts a shadow 8 cm long on the ground. At the same time a tower casts the shadow 40 m long on the ground. Find the height of the tower.
-
- 600 m
- 160 m
- 60 m
- 52 m
- None of these
Correct Option: C
In ΔACB and PCQ
∠C = ∠C (common)
∠ABC = ∠PQC (each 90°)
∴ ΔACB ∼ ΔPC (AA Similarity)
| ∴ | AB | = | BC |
| PQ | QC |
| h | = | 4000 |
| 12 | 8 |
h = 60m
