Correct Answer: 12


Solution : Length of shadow of a 7-storey building = 28 m
Let the number of stories of the building with a 48 m long shadow be $x$.
During the same time of the day, the sun shall cast proportional shadows on all the objects,
Hence, $\frac{7}{28}=\frac{x}{48}$
⇒ $x=\frac{48}{4}$
⇒ $x=12$.
Hence, the correct answer is 12.
