$A$ $20 \ m$ long tree is broken by the wind such that its top touches the ground at an angle of $30^\circ$. The height from the ground at which the tree is broken is:

  • A
    $10 \ m$
  • B
    $20(\sqrt{3} - 1) \ m$
  • C
    $\frac{20}{1 + \sqrt{3}} \ m$
  • D
    $20(2 - \sqrt{3}) \ m$

If the angles of elevation of the top of a tower from three collinear points $A, B$ and $C$ on a line leading to the foot of the tower are $30^o, 45^o$ and $60^o$ respectively,then the ratio $AB : BC$ is:

$A$ balloon is observed simultaneously from three points $A, B$ and $C$ on a straight road directly under it. The angular elevation at $B$ is twice and at $C$ is thrice that of $A$. If the distance between $A$ and $B$ is $200$ metres and the distance between $B$ and $C$ is $100$ metres,then the height of the balloon is:

The angle of elevation of the top of a tower at a point on the ground is $30^\circ$. If on walking $20 \, m$ toward the tower,the angle of elevation becomes $60^\circ$,then the height of the tower is:

The shadow of a tower is found to be $60 \ m$ shorter when the sun's altitude changes from $30^{\circ}$ to $60^{\circ}$. The height of the tower from the ground is approximately equal to......$m$

From the base of a pole of height $20 \text{ m}$,the angle of elevation of the top of a tower is $60^{\circ}$. The pole subtends an angle of $30^{\circ}$ at the top of the tower. Then the height of the tower is
