Option 4: 0.164 crore

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 0.864 crore

Question : From two points on the ground and lying in a straight line through the foot of a pillar, the two angles of elevation of the top of the pillar are complementary. If the distances of the two points from the foot of the pillar are 12 metres and 27 metres and the two points lie on the same side of the pillar, then the height (in metres) of the pillar is:

Option 1: 12 metres

Option 2: 18 metres

Option 3: 15 metres

Option 4: 16 metres

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 18 metres


Solution :
Let the height of the pole AB be $h$ metre.
BC = 12 metres and BD = 27 metres
$\angle$ADB = $\theta$
Therefore, $\angle$ACB = $(90–\theta)$
From, $\Delta$ABC,
$\tan(90–\theta)=\frac{h}{12}$
⇒ $\cot\theta=\frac{h}{12}$ --------(1)
From, $\Delta$ABD,
$\tan\theta=\frac{h}{27}$ ------(2)
Multiplying equations (1) and (2), we have,
