At a particular time, objects and their shadows are proportionate.

Therefore, in figure,

\frac{AB}{FD}= \frac{BC}{DE} --- (1)

where AB is the height of the lighthouse, BC, its shadow and FD is the height of Zara and DE is her shadow.

From the given information,

BC = 36 feet

FD = 4 feet and DE = 3 feet

(1) becomes

\frac{AB}{4}= \frac{36}{3}

\frac{AB}{4}= 12

AB = 48

Hence, the height of the lighthouse is 48 feet.

NOW we can calculate this easily

here the equation is given

2/5×60. u can solve this in given ways below….…..

u can simply divided 60 by 5. which is equal to 12. and now the equation remain 2×12 . & it's equal to 24. which is our answer.

2……….

u can write 2/5 in decimals by dividing this . so 2/5 is equal to 0.4

and now u r left with 0.4×60

so after multiplying it comes 24.0

and that is equal to 24. (because after decimal zeros has no value)

3……….

and u also can multiply 2 by 60 . it occurs 120 then devide it by 5 . the answer comes 24.
