Answer:

The height of the Eiffel Tower is 320 meters .

Option (d) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the height of the tower be x.

Let us assume that the shadow of the tower be y.

(As the shadow is always varies upon height .)

Thus

x \propto y

x =ky

\frac{x}{y}= k

As given

She used a 1.2 meter model of the tower and measured its shadow at 2 P.M.

The length of the shadow was 0.9 meter.

Here x = 1.2 meter

y = 0.9 meter

\frac{1.2}{0.9}= k

As given the Eiffel Tower’s shadow is 240 meters.

Here x = Height of Eiffel tower

y = 240 meters.

and

\frac{1.2}{0.9}= k

Put in the equation

\frac{x}{y}= k

\frac{Height\ of\ Eiffel\ Tower}{240} = \frac{1.2}{0.9}

Height\ of\ Eiffel\ Tower = \frac{1.2\times 240}{0.9}

Height\ of\ Eiffel\ Tower = \frac{288}{0.9}

Simplify the above

Height of the Eiffel Tower = 320 meters .

Therefore the height of the Eiffel Tower is 320 meters .

Option (d) is correct.

Find SP when CP=Rs.400 and proft%=4%
kvasek [131]

Answer:

\boxed{Selling\ Price = Rs.\ 424}

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost Price = Rs. 400

Profit = 4 % of Cost Price

=> \frac{4}{100} * 600

=> 4 * 6

=> Profit = Rs. 24

Now, Selling Price = Cost Price + Profit

Selling Price = 400+24

Selling Price = Rs. 424
