Answer 1

Distance between the ground and the lowest floor is 12 m

Distance between the ground and the top floor is 18 m

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of basement floors = 2

No. of floors = 3

Total height of building = 30 m

We are given that each floor is of the same height

Let x be the height of 1 floor

So, height of 5 floors = 5x

So, 5x=30

x= 6 m

One person is standing on the lowest

So, Distance between the ground and the lowest floor = 6+6=12 m

Another is standing at the top floor

So, Distance between the ground and the top floor = 6+6+6=18 m
