✅ Correct Answer: (A)
150 m
Explanation: ∵ 8 m shadow means original height = 12 m
∴ 1 m shadow means original height = 12/8 m
∴ 100 m shadow means original height = (12/8) x 100 m
= (6/4) x 100 = 6 x 25 = 150 m
Explanation by: Mr. Dubey
∵ 8 m shadow means original height = 12 m
∴ 1 m shadow means original height = 12/8 m
∴ 100 m shadow means original height = (12/8) x 100 m
= (6/4) x 100 = 6 x 25 = 150 m
∴ 1 m shadow means original height = 12/8 m
∴ 100 m shadow means original height = (12/8) x 100 m
= (6/4) x 100 = 6 x 25 = 150 m
