Question : The breadth ‘b’ of a room is twice its height and half of its length. Find the length of the longest diagonal of the room.
Option 1: $\frac{\sqrt{20} \mathrm{~b}}{2}$
Option 2: $\frac{\mathrm{b}}{2}$
Option 3: $\frac{\sqrt{21} \mathrm{~b}}{2}$
Option 4: $\frac{\sqrt{19} \mathrm{~b}}{2}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{\sqrt{21} \mathrm{~b}}{2}$
Solution : According to the question, b = 2 × height ⇒ Height = $\frac{1}{2}$b Also, b = $\frac12\times$length ⇒ Length = 2b Length of the diagonal $=\sqrt{l^2+b^2+h^2}$ $=\sqrt{(2b)^2+b^2+(\frac12b)^2}$ $=\sqrt{4b^2+b^2+\frac {b^2}{4}}$ $=\sqrt{\frac{16b^2+4b^2+b^2}{4}}$ $=\sqrt{\frac{21b^2}{4}}$ $=\frac{\sqrt{21}b}{2}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{\sqrt{21}b}{2}$.
