Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 30.36 km

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The maximum distance \(d\) up to which the TV transmission can be received from a tower of height \(h\) is given by the formula \(d = \sqrt{2Rh}\), where \(R\) is the radius of the Earth. Given values are \(h = 72 \text{ m}\) and \(R = 6.4 \times 10^6 \text{ m}\). Substituting…
