Correct Answer: 45
Solution : In the figure, two poles AB and PQ of height 60 m & 35 m are connected by rope BQ. Rope BQ is making angle θ with the horizontal whose tangent is $\frac{5}{9}$metre; $\therefore$ BO = 60 – 35 = 25 metres Now, tan θ =$\frac{BO}{OQ}$ ⇒ $\frac{5}{9} = \frac{25}{OQ}$ $\therefore$ OQ = 45 metres Hence, the correct answer is 45.
