The term that describes the optical trick of swelling columns at midpoint, which was used in the design of the Parthenon is entasis.
If you take a look at the ancient Greek columns, you will see that they are a bit wider in the middle - so the column is not completely straight, but rather swells up in the middle so as to "correct the visual illusion of concavity." It was often used by artists in the ancient Greek times.
Complete Question:
Three men took part in a business. They put in 2000 naira, 4000 naira and 1500 naira as capital. The profit made was divided among them in the same proportion as the amounts put in. If the profit was 300 naira, how much did each man get?
Answer:
a. Profit A = 80 Naira.
b. Profit B = 160 Naira.
c. Profit C = 60 Naira.
Explanation:
Let the three men be A, B and C.
<u>Given the following data;</u>
A = 2000 Naira.
B = 4000 Naira.
C = 1500 Naira.
Profit = 300 Naira
The ratio of the capital invested by each men is;
Ratio = A: B : C
Ratio = 2000 : 4000 : 1500
Dividing all through by 500;
Ratio = 4 : 8 : 3
Total ratio = 4 + 8 + 3 = 15
a. To find the amount of profit earned by A;
<em>Profit A = 80 Naira. </em>
b. Profit earned by B;
<em>Profit B = 160 Naira. </em>
c. Profit earned by C;
<em>Profit C = 60 Naira. </em>
<em>Therefore, each of the men would get 80 Naira, 160 Naira and 60 Naira respectively. </em>
The answer is most likely to be A).
