  1. The angle of elevation of the top of a tower of height 100 √3 metre from a point at a distance of 100 metre from the foot of the tower on a horizontal plane is
    1. 45°
    2. 60°
    3. 30°
    4. 22
      1
      °
      2
Correct Option: B


AB = Tower = 100 √3 metre
BC = 100 metre
From ∆ ABC,

tan θ =
AB
BC

⇒ tan θ =
100√3
= √3
100

⇒ tanθ = tan 60° ⇒ θ = 60°
