(D) Let the cliff be $PQ = 200\, m$. Let the two ships be at points $R$ and $S$.In $\Delta PQS$,the angle of elevation is $45^{\circ}$.$	an 45^{\circ} = \frac{PQ}{QS} = 1$$QS = PQ = 200\, m$.In $\Delta PQR$,the angle of elevation is $30^{\circ}$.$	an 30^{\circ} = \frac{PQ}{QR} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$$QR = PQ 	imes \sqrt{3} = 200\sqrt{3}\, m$.The distance between the ships is $RS = QR - QS$.$RS = 200\sqrt{3} - 200 = 200(1.732 - 1) = 200(0.732) = 146.4\, m$.

An observer on the top of a cliff,$200\, m$ above the sea level,observes the angle of depression of two ships at anchor to be $45^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$ respectively. Find the distance between the ships,if the line joining them stretches to the base of the cliff. (in $m$)
