On a morning walk, three persons step out together and their steps measure 30 cm, 36 cm, and 40 cm respectively. What is the minimum distance each should walk so that each can cover the same distance in complete steps?
उत्तर
GIVEN:
In a morning walk, three persons step off together. Their steps measure 30 cm, 36 cm, and 40 cm.
The distance covered by each of them is required to be the same as well as a minimum. The required distance each should walk would be the L.C.M of the measures of their steps i.e. 30 cm, 36 cm, and 40 cm,
So, we have to find the L.C.M of 30 cm, 36 cm, and 40 cm.
30 = 3 × 5 × 2
36 = 3 × 2 × 3 × 2
40 = 2 × 2 × 5 × 2
LCM of 30, 36 and 40 will be 360.
Hence the minimum 360 cm distance each should walk so that all can cover the same distance in complete steps.

We all have seen the airplanes flying in the sky but might have not thought of how they actually reach the correct destination. Air Traffic Control (ATC) is a service provided by ground-based air traffic controllers who direct aircraft on the ground and through a given section of controlled airspace, and can provide advisory services to aircraft in non-controlled airspace. Actually, all this air traffic is managed and regulated by using various concepts based on coordinate geometry and trigonometry.
At a given instance, ATC finds that the angle of elevation of an airplane from a point on the ground is 60°. After a flight of 30 seconds, it is observed that the angle of elevation changes to 30°. The height of the plane remains constantly as `3000sqrt(3)` m. Use the above information to answer the questions that follow-
- Draw a neat labelled figure to show the above situation diagrammatically.
- What is the distance travelled by the plane in 30 seconds?
OR
Keeping the height constant, during the above flight, it was observed that after `15(sqrt(3) - 1)` seconds, the angle of elevation changed to 45°. How much is the distance travelled in that duration. - What is the speed of the plane in km/hr.
