Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 320 m

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The formula of range of transmitting signal for a TV program for a transmitting antenna in terms of the height of the antenna and radius of the earth is, d=2Reh, here Re=6.4×106 m and d=64×103 m, it means, h=d22Re=6400022×6.4×106=320 m
