Shots are fired from the top of a tower and from its bottom simultaneously at angles $30^o$ and $60^o$ as shown. If the horizontal distance of the point of collision is at a distance $a$ from the tower,then the height of the tower $h$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{2a}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • B
    $\frac{a}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • C
    $2a$
  • D
    $\frac{4a}{\sqrt{3}}$
