Answer

Dimensions of model = 1.2 m × 75 cm × 2 m = 1.2 m × 0.75 m × 2 m

So,

Length = 1.2 m

Breadth = 0.75 m

Height = 2 m.

Length of modelLength of building=k1.2Length of building=130Length of building=1.2×30=36 m.Breadth of modelBreadth of building=k0.75Breadth of building=130Breadth of building=0.75×30=22.5 m.Height of modelHeight of building=k2Height of building=130Height of building=2×30=60 m.\phantom{\Rightarrow} \dfrac{\text{Length of model}}{\text{Length of building}} = k \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1.2}{\text{Length of building}} = \dfrac{1}{30} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{Length of building} = 1.2 \times 30 = 36 \text{ m}. \\[2em] \phantom{\Rightarrow} \dfrac{\text{Breadth of model}}{\text{Breadth of building}} = k \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{0.75}{\text{Breadth of building}} = \dfrac{1}{30} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{Breadth of building} = 0.75 \times 30 = 22.5 \text{ m}. \\[2em] \phantom{\Rightarrow} \dfrac{\text{Height of model}}{\text{Height of building}} = k \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{2}}{\text{Height of building}} = \dfrac{1}{30} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{Height of building} = 2 \times 30 = 60 \text{ m}.

Hence, actual dimension of building = 36 m × 22.5 m × 60 m.
