12 Two poles of heights [3]
25 m and 35 m stand
vertically on the
ground. The tops of
 two poles are
connected by a wire,
which is inclined to the
horizontal at an angle
of 30❑o . Find the
length of the wire and
the distance between
the poles.
13 Assertion (A): If the [1]
length of shadow of a
vertical pole is equal to
its height, then the
angle of elevation of
the sun is 45 ❑o .
Reason (R): According
to pythagoras theorem,
h ❑2 = p ❑2 + b ❑2 ,
where h = hypotenuse,
p = perpendicular and
b = base.

true and R is the
correct explanation of
A.

b) Both A and R are

true but R is not the
correct explanation of
A.

c) A is true but R is
false.

d) A is false but R is
true.

car to reach the foot of
tower from this point.
