Question : The angles of elevation of an aeroplane flying vertically above the ground, as observed from the two consecutive stones,1 km apart, are 45° and 60°. The height of the aeroplane above the ground in km is:

Option 1: $(\sqrt{3}+1)$

Option 2: $(\sqrt{3}+3)$

Option 3: $\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{3}+1)$

Option 4: $\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{3}+3)$

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{3}+3)$


Solution :
Let A be the position of the aeroplane and B and C be the two milestones.
So, BC = 1 km
$\angle \text{ABD} =$ 45° and $\angle \text{ACD} =$ 60°
Let AD = $h$ km and CD = $x$ km
Now, $\tan 45° = \frac{h}{x+1}$
