JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - Trigonometrical equations

The angle of elevation of a jet plane from a point \(A\) on the ground is \(60^{\circ}\). After a flight of \(20\, seconds\) at the speed of \(432\, km / hour\), the angle of elevation changes to \(30^{\circ}\). If the jet plane is flying at a constant height, then its height is ..... \(m.\)

  1. A \(1800 \sqrt{3}\)
  2. B \(3600 \sqrt{3}\)
  3. C \(2400 \sqrt{3}\)
  4. D \(1200 \sqrt{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1200 \sqrt{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\tan 60^{\circ}=\frac{ h }{ y }\) \(\sqrt{3}=\frac{ h }{ y } \Rightarrow h =\sqrt{3} y \quad \ldots \ldots .(1)\) \(\tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{ h }{ x + y }\) \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{ h }{ x + y } \Rightarrow \sqrt{3} h = x + y \quad \ldots \ldots .(2)\) Speed…
