To conduct Sports Day activities, in your rectangular shaped school ground ABCD, lines have been drawn with chalk powder at a distance of 1m each. 100 flower pots have been placed at a distance of 1 m from each other along AD, as shown in the given figure. Niharika runs `(1)/(4)` th the distance AD on the 2nd line and posts a green flag. Preet runs `(1)/(5)` th the distance AD on the eighth line and posts a red flag. What is the distance between both the flags ? If Rashmi has to post a blue flag exactly halfway between the line segment joining the two flags, where should she post her flag ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`sqrt(61)` m and Rashmi should post the blue flag on the 5th line at distance 22.5 m from AB.
