Let AB and CD be two poles of height h meters also let P be a point between them on
the road which is x meters away from foot of first pole AB, PD= (80-x) meters.

⇒ 3𝑥 = 80 − 𝑥 ⇒ 4𝑥 = 80 ⇒ 𝑥 = 20𝑚
So, 80 − 𝑥 = 80 − 20 = 60𝑚 1/2
Hence the point is 20m from one pole and 60 meters from the other pole.

∴ In ∆𝐴𝑃𝐵,  PAB =  PBA

Also,  APB = 600 1
In ∆𝐴𝑃𝐵, sum of three angles is 1800.

Therefore,  PAB +  PBA = 1800 -  APB= 1800 – 600 = 1200.

∴ PAB =  PBA = 600 (∵ PAB =  PBA) 1
∵ ∆𝐴𝑃𝐵 is an equilateral triangle.
So, 𝐴𝐵 = 6𝑐𝑚 1

10 Let the three consecutive multiples of 5 be 5x, 5x+5, 5x+10.

Their squares are (5𝑥)2 , (5𝑥 + 5)2 and(5𝑥 + 10)2 .
(5𝑥)2 + (5𝑥 + 5)2 + (5𝑥 + 10)2 = 725 1
⇒25𝑥 2 + 25𝑥 2 + 50x + 25 + 25𝑥 2 + 100x + 100 = 725
⇒ 75𝑥 2 + 150𝑥 − 600 = 0
⇒ 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 8 = 0
⇒ (𝑥 + 4)(𝑥 − 2) = 0
⇒ 𝑥 = −4, 2 1
⇒ 𝑥 = 2 (ignoring –ve value)
So the numbers are 10, 15 and 20 1
