A park has a 3 meter tall tether ball pole and a 6.8 tall flagpole. The lengths of their shadows are proportional to their heights.
Which of the following could be the lengths of the shadows?
Answers
option B & D are correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Given options are
A B C D E
Tether ball pole shadow 1.35 1.8 3.75 0.6 2
Flagpole shadow 3.4 4.08 8.35 1.36 4.8
Ratio of corresponding height & shadows hsould be same
3 meter tall tether ball pole and a 6.8 tall flagpole
=> Ratio = 6.8/3 = 68/30 = 34/15
A - 3.4/1.35 = 340/135 ≠ 34/15( 306/135)
B - 4.08/1.8 = 408/180 = 34/15 = 34/15 ( Correct option)
C 8.35/3.75 = 835/375 = 167/75 ≠ 34/15( 170/75)
D 1.36/0.6 = 136/60 = 34/15 = 34/15 ( Correct option)
E 4.8/2 = 48/20 = 12/5 = 36/15 ≠ 34/15
option B & D are correct
