Question : From the top of a hill 240 m high, the angles of depression of the top and bottom of a pole are 30° and 60°, respectively. The difference (in m) between the height of the pole and its distance from the hill is:
Option 1: $120(2-\sqrt3$)
Option 2: $120(\sqrt3-1)$
Option 3: $80(\sqrt3-1$)
Option 4: $80(2-\sqrt3)$
Correct Answer: $80(2-\sqrt3)$
Solution : As per the figure shown above, AD = 240 m In $\triangle ADE$, $⇒\tan 60^{\circ}=\frac{AD}{DE}$ $⇒\sqrt3=\frac{240}{DE}$ $⇒DE=80\sqrt3$ In $\triangle ABC$, $⇒\tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{AB}{BC}$ $⇒\frac{1}{\sqrt3}=\frac{AB}{BC}$ $⇒BC=AB{\sqrt3}$ From the figure, BC = DE. $⇒80\sqrt3=AB{\sqrt3}$ $⇒AB=80$ m The height of the pole BD = 240 – AB = 240
Question : Two runners, A and B, start running at 12 km/h and 16 km/h, towards each other. They meet after 1 hour and 30 minutes. How far (in kilometres) were they from each other when they started?
Option 1: 42
Option 2: 36
Option 3: 40
Option 4: 45
Correct Answer: 42
Solution : Here speeds of A and B are 12 km/h and 16 km/h respectively. They meet after 1 hour and 30 minutes i.e. $1\frac{30}{60}=\frac{3}{2}$ hour. Now the distance covered by A is = $12×\frac{3}{2}=18$ km. Also the distance covered by B is = $16×\frac{3}{2}=24$ km. Therefore,
