(iv) 1;O


(v) 1;O


When a shape it looks the same after some rotation by a partial turn, then its said to have rotational symmetry


(vi) 5; H,J,N,O,X

Standing at 5 m apart from a vertical pole of height 3 m, Sudha observed a building at the back of the pillar that tip of the pillar is in line with the top of the building. If the distance between pillar and building is 10 m, estimate the height of the building. [Here height of Sudha is neglected]
