    Question

    The height of a tower is h meters. It is found that, when walking 100 m towards it in a horizontal line through its base, the elevation of its top changes from 30° to 60°, h is equal to:

    A.

    100 m

    B.

    100√3 m

    C.

    50 m

    D.

    50√3 m

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    Initial angle = 30°
    Final angle = 60°
    Distance walked = 100 m

    Formula:
    tan(θ) = height / base

    Solution:
    Let final distance from tower = x
    Then from triangle with 60°:
    tan(60°) = h / x → √3 = h / x → h = x√3

    From triangle with 30°:
    tan(30°) = h / (x + 100) → 1/√3 = h / (x + 100)

    Substitute h from above:
    1/√3 = (x√3) / (x + 100)
    Cross-multiplying:
    x + 100 = 3x → 2x = 100 → x = 50
    Then h = x√3 = 50√3

    Final Answer: (d) 50√3 m
