Question : 71
Total: 100
In the given diagram, river PQ is just perpendicular to the national highway AB. At a point B, highway just turns at right angle and reaches to C. PA = 500m and BQ = 700 m and width of the uniformly wide river (i.e., PQ) is 300 m. Also BC = 3600 m. A bridge has to be constructed across the river
perpendicular to its stream in such a way that person’s Car reach from A to C via bridge covering least possible distance. What is the minimum possible required distance from A to C including the length of bridge?
4100 m

Solution:
(a) Let MN be the bridge ∆APM ∼ ∆ABC
∴

⇒ PM = 1200 = QN = BR
∴ RC = BC − BR = 2400 m
and NR = BQ = 700 m
