A. $$\frac{2p}{x}$$

B. $$\frac{x}{2p}$$

C. $$\frac{p}{2x}$$

D. $$\frac{2x}{p}$$

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & \frac{1}{2} \times {\text{Base}} \times {\text{Height}} = p \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \times x \times {\text{Height}} = p \cr & \Rightarrow {\text{Height}} = \frac{{2p}}{x} \cr} $$
