Q75.Two vertical poles of height, 20 ๐‘š and 80 ๐‘š stand apart on a horizontal plane. The height (in meters) of the point of intersection of the lines joining the top of each pole to the foot of the other, from this horizontal plane is: (1) 16 (2) 12 (3) 18 (4) 15

What This Question Tests

The question uses concepts of similar triangles formed by the poles and the lines connecting their tops to the feet of the other poles to find the height of their intersection point.

Concepts Tested
