Question : If the angle of elevation of the top of a pillar from the ground level is raised from 30° to 60°, the length of the shadow of a pillar of height $50\sqrt{3}$ metres will be decreased by:
Option 1: 60 metres
Option 2: 75 metres
Option 3: 100 metres
Option 4: 50 metres
Correct Answer: 100 metres
Solution : Height of the pillar, $AB$ = $50\sqrt{3}$ metres For the length of the shadow at an angle of elevation of 30°, $\frac{50\sqrt{3}}{BC} = \tan 30°$ ⇒ $\frac{50\sqrt{3}}{BC} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ ⇒ $BC = 150$ metres For the length of the shadow at an angle of
Question : $\triangle ABC$ is a triangle. PQ is a line segment intersecting AB in P and AC in Q and PQ || BC. The ratio of AP : BP = 3 : 5 and the length of PQ is 18 cm. The length of BC is:
Option 1: 28 cm
Option 2: 48 cm
Option 3: 84 cm
Option 4: 42 cm
Correct Answer: 48 cm
Solution : Given: AP : BP = 3 : 5 And PQ = 18 cm Let BC = $x$ cm In $\triangle$APQ and $\triangle$ABC, $\frac{AP}{AB}=\frac{PQ}{BC}$ (since PQ is parallel to base BC) Putting the values, we get: $\frac{3}{8}=\frac{18}{x}$ $\therefore x=\frac{18×8}{3}$ = 48 Hence, the correct answer
