Answer to Problem 12PSA

The difference of measures of longer and shorter parts of a pole is 16 m

Explanation of Solution

Given information

A 60 m pole is cut into two parts in the ration of 11: 4

Formula used If the pole of Z units is cut into two parts in the ration of x: y , then measure of:

One part will be given by xx+y×Z and

Other part will be given by yx+y×Z

Calculation:The pole is cut in the ratio

  x:y=11:4

Therefore, x=11&y=4

Longer part of the pole

  =1111+4×60=1115×60=44 m

Shorter part of the pole

  =711+4×60=715×60=28 m

Then,

Difference of their measures = 44 − 28 = 16 m

Hence, Longer part of the pole is 16 m longer than shorter part of the pole
