\(PQR\) triangular park with \(PQ = PR = 200\ m.A\) TV tower stands at the mid-point of \(QR\). If the angles of elevation of the top of the tower at \(P, Q\) and \(R\) are respectively \(45^o , 30^o \) and \(30^o \), then the height of the tower \((in \,m)\) is:

  1. A \(50\)
  2. B \(100\sqrt 3 \)
  3. C \(50\sqrt 2 \;\)
  4. D \(100\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(100\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let hight of tower \(MN=h\) In \(\Delta QMN\) we have \(\tan 30^o=\frac {MN}{QM}\) \(\therefore QM\,=\,\sqrt 3 h=MR\) ....... \((1)\) Now in \(\Delta MNP\) \(MN=PM\) ........ \((2)\) In \(\Delta PMQ\) we have : \(MP\,=\,\sqrt {(200)^2-(\sqrt 3h)^2}\) \(\therefore \) From \((2)\)…
