Correct Answer: $\frac{120}{\sqrt{3}}$ m
Solution : Let height of the tower = $h$ m From the figure, $\tan 60°=\frac{h}{40}$ ⇒ $\sqrt{3}=\frac{h}{40}$ ⇒ $h=40\sqrt{3}$ m Rationalising we get, ⇒ $ h =40\sqrt{3} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{120}{\sqrt{3}}$ m Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{120}{\sqrt{3}}$ m.
