$A$ man having height $169 \; cm$ is standing near a pole. He casts a shadow $130 \; cm$ long. What is the length (in $cm$) of the pole if it casts a shadow $420 \; cm$ long?

The angle of elevation of an aeroplane as observed from a point $30 \ m$ above the transparent water surface of a lake is $30^{\circ}$ and the angle of depression of the image of the aeroplane in the water of the lake is $60^{\circ}$. The height of the aeroplane from the water surface of the lake is (in $m$):

If a flagstaff of $6 \, m$ height placed on the top of a tower throws a shadow of $2 \sqrt{3} \, m$ along the ground,then the angle that the sun makes with the ground is

The angle of elevation of the top of an unfinished tower at a point $120 \ m$ from its base is $45^{\circ}.$ How much higher (in $m$) must the tower be raised so that its angle of elevation is $60^{\circ}$ at the same point?

$A$ tower subtends an angle of $30^{\circ}$ at a point on the same level as the foot of the tower. At a second point,$h \ m$ above the first,the angle of depression of the foot of the tower is $60^{\circ}$. The horizontal distance of the tower from the point is

Two posts are $x \text{ m}$ apart and the height of one is double that of the other. If from the midpoint of the line joining their feet,an observer finds the angular elevations of their tops to be complementary,then the height (in $\text{m}$) of the shorter post is
