Question

The Qutab Minar casts a shadow 150 m long at the same time when the Vikas Minar casts a shadow 120 m long on the ground. If the height of the Vikas Minar is 80 m, find the height of the Qutab Minar.

• A. 100 m
• B. 180 m
• C. 150 m
• D. 120 m

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

100 m

Answer 2

Let's Assume The triangles formed by Qutub minar and Vikas minar be similar, so
Let's take the height of Qutub minar be x
$\frac{150}{120}$ = $\frac{x}{80}$
After solving the equation,
we get x = 100 m (Height of Qutub minar)
The correct option is (A)
