  1. A \(\tan ^{-1}(1)\)
  2. B \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{8}{3}\right)\)
  3. C \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)\)
  4. D \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{8}{3}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(H = 40 \text{ m}, R = 60 \text{ m}\) \(\tan \theta = \frac{4H}{R}\) \(\tan \theta = \frac{4 \times 40}{60}\) \(\tan \theta = \frac{160}{60}\) \(\tan \theta = \frac{8}{3}\) \(\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{8}{3}\right)\)
