JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - Trigonometrical equations

Let \(10\) vertical poles standing at equal distances on a straight line, subtend the same angle of elevation at a point \(O\) on this line and all the poles are on the same side of \(O\). If the height of the longest pole is \('h'\) and the distance of the foot of the smallest pole from \(O\) is \('a'\); then the distance between two consecutive poles, is

  1. A \(\frac{{h\,\cos \,\alpha  - a\,\sin \,\alpha }}{{9\,\sin \,\alpha }}\)
  2. B \(\frac{{h\,\sin \,\alpha  + a\,\cos \,\alpha }}{{9\,\sin \,\alpha }}\)
  3. C \(\frac{{h\,\cos \,\alpha  - a\,\sin \,\alpha }}{{9\,\cos \,\alpha }}\)
  4. D \(\frac{{h\,\sin \,\alpha  - a\,\cos \,\alpha }}{{9\,\cos \,\alpha }}\)
