Question

A lake is surrounded by birds on all sides.A lotus flower is seen 1/2 cubits above the water levelwith the onset of the wind,the lotus flower sinks in the water 2 cubits away from the place slowly. how deep is the water in the lake?

Answer 1

height of flowr above water= 1/2
depth= 2
depth of flower inside water= 2-1/2= 3/2

Answer 2

Answer:

The depth of the water is 3/2 cubits

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that A lotus flower is seen 1/2 cubits above the water level

Now ,the lotus flower sinks in the water 2 cubits away from the place slowly.

So, Depth of water = $2-\frac{1}{2}$

                                 = $\frac{4-1}{2}$

                                 = $\frac{3}{2}$

Hence the depth of the water is 3/2 cubits
