Question

AT a particular time the shadow of a man of 170cm height is 204cm on the ground. at the sàme time and on the same ground the shadow of the pole is600cm.find the heigh5 of the pole.

Answer 1

Using this simple logic.
Shadow of all objects at a given time are proportional to their heights.
Let the height of the pole be L cm.
Therefore,
L/600 =170/204
=> L =(170×600)/204
=> L =500
Therefore L cm = 500 cm [Answer]
