Imran is standing on the 8 m long shadow of a 6 m long pole. If the length of his shadow is 2.4 m, what is the height of the Imran ?

Options

A. 2.0 m
B. 1.4 m
C. 1.6 m
D. 1.8 m

Answer

D

Explanation

Let the height of the Imran h
Then, according to the question
`("Height of the pole")/("Length of pole.s shadow") = ("Height of the Imran ")/("Length of Imran.s shadow")`
or `6/8 = h/2.4`
or , `h = (6 xx (2.4))/(8) = (3 xx (2.4))/(4) " or ", h = 3 xx (0.6) = 1.8 m`
So, the height of the Imran = h = 1.8 m.
