The shadow of a tower standing on a level plane is found to be $100 \ m$ longer when the sun's angle of elevation is $30^{\circ}$ than when it is $45^{\circ}$. The height of the tower is:

  • A
    $50(\sqrt{3}-1)$
  • B
    $50(\sqrt{3}+1)$
  • C
    $100(\sqrt{3}-1)$

An aeroplane flying at a constant speed,parallel to the horizontal ground,$\sqrt{3} \ km$ above it,is observed at an elevation of $60^\circ$ from a point on the ground. If,after five seconds,its elevation from the same point is $30^\circ$,then the speed (in $km/hr$) of the aeroplane is

The angle of elevation of an object from a point $P$ on the level ground is $\alpha$. Moving $d$ metres on the ground towards the object, the angle of elevation is found to be $\beta$. Then the height (in metres) of the object is

From a point on the level ground, the angle of elevation of the top of a pole is $30^{\circ}$. On moving $20 \ m$ nearer to the pole, the angle of elevation becomes $45^{\circ}$. The height of the pole (in metres) is:
