Option 1: $210$
Option 2: $140\sqrt3$
Option 3: $210\sqrt3$
Option 4: $150$
Correct Answer: $210$
Solution : Given: The length of the string is 420 metres and the angle of elevation of a string with the ground is 30°. $\sin\theta = \frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$ $⇒\sin 30° = \frac{AB}{420}$ $⇒\frac{1}{2} = \frac{AB}{420}$ $\therefore AB = \frac{420}{2} = 210$ m Hence, the correct answer is $210$.
