Question : Suhas, a 3.15 m tall tree, and an 11.25 m tall building are positioned such that their feet on the ground are collinear and the tree is located between Suhas and the building. The tree is located at a distance of 45 m from the building. Further. the eyes of Suhas, the top of the tree, and the top of the building fall in one line, and the eyes of Suhas are at a height of 1.8 m from the ground, At what distance (in m) from Suhas is the tree located?

Correct Answer: 7.5
Solution : Given, Subhas' eyes (EF) are at a height of 1.8 m. A 3.15 m tall tree (CD), stands 45 m to an 11.25 m tall building (AB). Their heights align. Observe that $\triangle ABG\sim \triangle CDG\sim \triangle EFG$ According to the question, $\frac{3.15}{\text{DG}} = \frac{11.25}{ 45+\text{DG}}$ $⇒3.15\times 45+3.15\text{DG}=11.25\text{DG}$ $⇒8.1\text{DG}=3.15\times 45$ $⇒\text{DG} = 17.5$ Also, $\frac{1.8}{\text{FG}} = \frac{3.15}{17.5}$ $⇒\text{FG} = 10$ Now, $\text{DF=DG}-\text{FG}=17.5-10=7.5$ Hence, the correct answer is 7.5.
