उत्तर

Let x m be the length of the model ship when the height of the mast is 9 cm.

Now, according to question,

  Model ship Actual ship
Height of the mast (in m) `9/100` 12
Length of the ship (in m) x 28

∴ `(9/100)/x = 12/28`

⇒ `(9xx28)/(12xx100)` = x

⇒ 0.21 = x

Thus, the length of the model ship = 0.21m.
