$A$ bird is sitting on the top of a vertical pole $20 \ m$ high and its angle of elevation from a point $O$ on the ground is $45^o$. It flies off horizontally straight away from the point $O$. After one second,the angle of elevation of the bird from $O$ is reduced to $30^o$. Then the speed (in $m/s$) of the bird is

  • A
    $20\sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $20(\sqrt{3} - 1)$
  • C
    $40(\sqrt{2} - 1)$
  • D
    $40(\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2})$

The angle of elevation of the top of a vertical tower from a point $P$ on the horizontal ground was observed to be $\alpha$. After moving a distance $2 \ m$ from $P$ towards the foot of the tower,the angle of elevation changes to $\beta$. Then the height (in metres) of the tower is

$A$ man is walking towards a vertical pillar in a straight path,at a uniform speed. At a certain point $A$ on the path,he observes that the angle of elevation of the top of the pillar is $30^o$. After walking for $10 \text{ minutes}$ from $A$ in the same direction,at a point $B$,he observes that the angle of elevation of the top of the pillar is $60^o$. Then the time taken (in minutes) by him,from $B$ to reach the pillar,is:
