Question : From a tower 125 metres high, the angle of depression of two objects, which are in a horizontal line through the base of the tower, are $45^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$ and they are on the same side of the tower. The distance (in metres) between the objects is:
Option 1: $125\sqrt{3}$
Option 2: $125\left ( {\sqrt3-1} \right )$
Option 3: $\frac{125}{\left ( {\sqrt3-1} \right )}$
Option 4: $125\left ({\sqrt3+1} \right)$
Correct Answer: $125\left ( {\sqrt3-1} \right )$
Solution : We have, Height of the tower ($AB$) = 125 m Angle of depression = 45° and 30° In $\Delta ABC$, $\tan 45^{\circ} = \frac{AB}{BC}$ $⇒1 = \frac{125}{BC}$ $⇒BC=125$.............(i) In $\Delta ADB$, $\tan 30^{\circ} = \frac{AB}{BD}$ $⇒\frac{1}{\sqrt3} = \frac{125}{CD+BC}$ Substituting the value
