A vertical stick 12 cm long casts a shadow 8 cm long on the ground. At the same time, a tower casts a shadow 40m long on the ground. The height of the tower is
65m
70m
72m
60m
Answer : Option D.
height of Tower/Length Of Stick
=Length of shadow of Tower/Length of shadow of Stick
h/12=40/8
h=40*12/8 = 60 metre
A, B, C, D are four points on a circle. AC and BD intersect at a point E such that ∠BEC = 1300 and ∠ECD = 200. ∠BAC is

The tops of two poles of height 24m and 36 m are connected by a wire. If the wire makes an angle of 60 ° with the horizontal, then the length of the wire is
8 m
6 √3 m
6 m
8√3m
Answer : Option D.
DE = 36-24 = 12 metre
From △ADE, Sin 60 ° = DE/AD
√3/2=12/AD
AD = 12 x 2/√3
=8√3 metre
