Case Study Based Questions
Case Study 1
13. A group of students of class X visited India Gate on an education trip. The teacher and
students had interest in history as well. The teacher narrated that India Gate, official name
Delhi Memorial,originally called All-India War Memorial, a monumental sandstone arch in New
Delhi, dedicated to the troops of British India who died in wars fought between 1914 and 1919.
The teacher also said that India Gate, which is located at the eastern end of the Rajpath
(formerly called the Kings way), is about 138 feet (42metres) in height.
(i)What is the angle of elevation if they are standing at a distance of 42 m away from the
monument ? [2 mark]
(ii)They want to see the tower at an angle of 60°. So, they want to know the distance where
they should stand and hence find the distance. [2 mark]
Case Study 2
14. Your friend Veer wants to participate in a 200 m race. He can currently run that distance in
51 seconds and with each day of practice it takes him 2 seconds less. He wants to do it in 31
seconds.
