Starting from letter 'S' add 5 in the clock wise direction to get the next letter in English alphabets.

Here S + 5 => 19 + 5 = 24 => X

X + 5 = 24 + 5 = 3 => C

Similarly, 

B + 5 = G

Reduction in consumption

The Battle of Plassey in the year 1757, victory of British East India company over Nawab of Bengal established British supremacy in India. The victory came under the leadership of Robert Clive.

The shadow zone is the area of the earth from angular distances of 104 to 140 degrees from a given earthquake that does not receive any direct P waves. The shadow zone results from S waves being stopped entirely by the liquid core and P waves being bent (refracted) by the liquid core.

There are two types of Shadow zones:

one for P waves and

one for S waves.

P wave shadows between 104-140 degree, both sides; S wave shadow from 105 of one side to 105 of the other.

Let the required height of the building be x meter

More shadow length, More height(direct proportion)

Hence we can write as

(shadow length) 40.25 : 28.75 :: 17.5 : x
⇒ 40.25 × x = 28.75 × 17.5
⇒ x = 28.75 × 17.5/40.25
= 2875 × 175/40250
= 2875 × 7/1610
= 2875/230
= 575/46
= 12.5 cm
