Question

A peacock is sitting on the top of a pillar which is 9m high. From a point 27m away from the bottom of the pillar, a snake is coming to its hole at the base of the pillar. Seeing the snake the peacock ounces on it. If their speed are equal, at what distance from the hole is the snake caught?

Answer 1

distance from hole = 12m when peacock catch snake

Step-by-step explanation:

As speed of both peacock and snake is same

so distance covered by both will be equal

let Say distance = x

snake will be at as distance of 27-x

peacock distance would be equal to

${9}^{2} + {(27 - x)}^{2} = {x}^{2} \\ 81 + 729 + {x}^{2} - 54x = {x}^{2} \\ x = \frac{810}{54} \\ x = 15$

distance covered by both = 15 m

distance from hole = 27-15 = 12 m
