Answer from: zara76

Let us assume Neeru's present height = x cm.

After increasing height by 3 cm, new height = (x+3) cm.

Ratio of previous height and the increased height = 36:37.

Therefore,

We can setup a proportion:

$\frac{x}{x+3}=\frac{36}{37}$

On cross multiplication, we get

37x = 36(x+3)

37x = 36x + 108.

Subtracting 36 from both sides, we get

37x-36x = 36x-36x + 108.

x = 108.

Therefore, her present height is 108 cm.

Answer from: Quest

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

$ab^2+ac^2=bc^2$

$ab^2+ac^2=x^2$ )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

$\frac{ab}{bc}=\frac{bd}{ab}$

$ab^2=bc\cdot bd$

$25=bc\cdot bd$ (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

$\frac{ac}{bc}=\frac{cd}{ac}$

$ac^2=bc\cdot dc$

$7\times 7=bc\cdot dc$

$49=bc\cdot dc$ )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

$25+49=x^2$

$74=x^2$

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
