Question 12

Explanation

This problem can be solved using the concept of direct proportion between the height of an object and the length of its shadow. Let $h_M$ be Mirza's height.

Given:

• Nafis's height = $1.5$ meters
• Nafis's shadow = $4.5$ meters
• Mirza's shadow = $6$ meters

We set up the proportion equation:

So, Mirza's height is $2.00$ meters.
