$A$ balloon is descending at a rate of $4 \, m/min$. Its angle of elevation from a point on the ground is $45^\circ$,which reduces to $30^\circ$ after $10 \, minutes$. At what distance from the observer will the balloon touch the ground?

  • A
    $20 \sqrt{3} \, m$
  • B
    $20(3 + \sqrt{3}) \, m$
  • C
    $10(3 + \sqrt{3}) \, m$
  • D
    None of these

The angle of elevation of the top of a vertical tower standing on a horizontal plane is observed to be $45^o$ from a point $A$ on the plane. Let $B$ be a point $30 \, m$ vertically above the point $A$. If the angle of elevation of the top of the tower from $B$ is $30^o$,then the distance (in $m$) of the foot of the tower from the point $A$ is:

The angle of elevation of the top of a mobile tower from three points $P, Q$ and $R$ (on a straight line through the foot of the tower) are $\alpha, \beta$ and $\gamma$ respectively. If all three points lie on the same side of the foot of the tower and $\alpha : \beta : \gamma = 1 : 2 : 3$ and $PQ = l$,then the height of the tower is -
