Q.37 Read the text carefully and answers the questions:

Tower Bridge is a Grade I listed combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, built between
1886 and1894, designed by Horace Jones and engineered by John Wolfe Barry. The bridge is 800
feet (240m) in length and consists of two bridge towers connected at the upper level by two
horizontal walkways, and a central pair of bascules that can open to allow shipping.
In this bridge, two towers of equal heights are standing opposite each other on either side of the road,
which is 80m wide. During summer holidays, Neeta visited the tower bridge. She stood at some point
on the road between these towers. From that point between the towers on the road, the angles of
elevation of the top of the towers was 60° and 30° respectively.

(i) Find the distances of the point from the base of the towers where Neeta was standing while
measuring the height.
(ii) Find the distance between Neeta and the top of tower AB?
OR
Find the distance between Neeta and the top of tower CD?
(iii) Neeta used some applications of trigonometry she learned in her class to find the height of the
towers without actually measuring them. What would be the height of the towers she would
have calculated?
Q.38 Read the text carefully and answers the questions:
Ashish is a Class X student. His class teacher Mrs. Verma arranged a historical trip to great
Stupa of Sanchi. She explained that Stupa of Sanchi is great example of architecture in India. Its base
part is cylindrical in shape. The dome of this stupa is hemispherical in shape, known as Anda. It also
contains a cubical shape part called Hermika at the top. Path around Anda is known as Pradakshina Path.
