JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - Trigonometrical equations

The angle of elevation of the top \(P\) of a vertical tower \(PQ\) of height \(10\) from a point \(A\) on the horizontal ground is \(45^{\circ}\). Let \(R\) be a point on \(AQ\) and from a point \(B\), vertically above \(R\), the angle of elevation of \(P\) is \(60^{\circ}\). If \(\angle BAQ =30^{\circ}, AB = d\) and the area of the trapezium \(PQRB\) is \(\alpha\), then the ordered pair \(( d , \alpha)\) is.

  1. A \((10(\sqrt{3}-1), 25)\)
  2. B \(\left(10(\sqrt{3}-1), \frac{25}{2}\right)\)
  3. C \((10(\sqrt{3}+1), 25)\)
  4. D \(\left(10(\sqrt{3}+1), \frac{25}{2}\right)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \((10(\sqrt{3}-1), 25)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(QA =10 \quad RA = d \cos 30^{\circ}=\frac{\sqrt{3} d }{2}\) \(QR =10-\frac{\sqrt{3} d }{2}\) \(BR = d \sin 30^{\circ}=\frac{ d }{2}\) \(\tan 60^{\circ}=\frac{ PQ - BR }{ QR }=\frac{10-\frac{ d }{2}}{10-\frac{\sqrt{3} d }{2}}\) \(\sqrt{3}=\frac{20- d }{20-\sqrt{3} d }\)…
