Answer

Find out the how long is woman shadow .

To prove

Let us assume that the height = x

Let us assume that the shadow = y

(As shadow increase with the increase in the height.)

x = ky

Where k is constant of proportionality.

As given

A 10 ft tall statue standing next to a woman casts an 18 ft shadow.

10 = k × 18

As given

If the woman is 5 ft tall .

Let us assume that the shadow of woman be s .

Put in the proprtionality equation .

5 = k × s

Compare the value of k .

s = 9 ft

Therefore the shadow of the woman be 9 ft .

Option (C) is correct .
