Answer is option b

17 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that A tree casts a 25 foot shadow. At the same time of day, a 6 foot man standing near the tree casts a 9 foot shadow.

for man actual height = 6 foot

Shadow = 9 foot

At a particular time, the height/shadow ratio would be constant

Hence 6/9 =x/25

Or x = 25(6)/9

x=16.67feet

Rounding off x=17 feet

168
