Question : Two men standing on the same side of a pillar, 75 metres high, observe the angles of elevation of the top of the pillar to be $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$, respectively. The distance between the two men is:
Option 1: $100\sqrt{3}$ m
Option 2: $100$ m
Option 3: $50\sqrt{3}$ m
Option 4: $25\sqrt{3}$ m
Correct Answer: $50\sqrt{3}$ m
Solution : Let AB denote the pillar. Let C and D be the two men observing the angle of elevation of the top of the pillar as $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$, respectively. In $\triangle$ABD, $\tan$ $60^\circ$ = $\frac{75}{BD}$ ⇒ BD = $\frac{75}{\sqrt3}$ = $25\sqrt3$ m In $\triangle$ABC,

Question : 10 women can do a work in 6 days and 6 men can do the same work in 5 days. If all these men and women work together, then how many days will they take to finish this work?
Option 1: $2\frac{8}{11}$
Option 2: $4\frac{6}{11}$
