Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 36 cm.
Given that
A vertical pole of 28 m in height casts a 19.2 m-long shadow.
The height of another pole = 52.5 m
Let the length of the shadow of another pole be L
According to the question
L/52.5 = 19.2/28
L = 19.2 × 52.5/28 = 36 cm
