Question:
A man is standing between two lamp posts on a horizontal line dividing the distance between them in the ratio 1:2. The height of man is 2 m. It is noticed that shadow of the man with respect to first lamp post just touches the foot of second lamp post. If the distance between the posts is 30 m, find the height of the first post.
