JEE PYQ: Heights And Distances Question 5
Question 5 - 2020 (04 Sep Shift 1)
Two vertical poles $AB = 15$ m and $CD = 10$ m are standing apart on a horizontal ground with points $A$ and $C$ on the ground. If $P$ is the point of intersection of $BC$ and $AD$, then the height of $P$ (in m) above the line $AC$ is:
(1) $20/3$ (2) $5$ (3) $10/3$ (4) $6$
Show Answer
Answer: (4) $6$
Solution
By similar triangles: $10m = 15n$, so $PE = 6$.
