to the centre.

CASE STUDY-1
Q13) A lighthouse is a tower with bright light at the top and serves as a navigational aid and
also warns ships of dangerous areas. In the fig 11.28 , a man on top of a 75m
lighthouse is observing two ships approaching towards its base. Observe the figure
carefully and answer the questions given below.

a) What is the distance of the 2 ships from the lighthouse

b) If the two ships were on either side of the lighthouse then what will be the distance.

CASE STUDY-2
Q14) Push-ups are a fast and effective exercise for building strength. Nitesh wants to
participate in a push-up challenge. He can currently make 3000 push-ups in one hour. He
wants to achieve 3900 push-ups in one hour for which he practices daily. With each day of
practice, he is able to make 5 more push-ups in one hour as compared to the previous day. On
the basis of this situation answer the questions given below.

a) Find the minimum number of days he needs to practice to accomplish his goal
b) Find the total number of push-ups performed by Nitesh till the day his goal gets
achieved.
