Answer with explanation

Answer: Option A

Explanation

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Height and Distance mcq solution image
Let AB be the tower and C and D be the two positions of the boats.
Then,

∠ACB = 45∘,∠ACB = 45∘,

 

∠ADB=30∘∠ADB=30∘

and AC = 60 m
Let, AB = h

Then,ABAC=tan45∘=1⇒AB=AC⇒h=60mAndABAD=tan30∘=13–√⇒AD=(AB×3–√)=603–√m∴CD=(AD−AC)=60(3–√−1)mHence, required speed  = [60(3–√−1)5]m/s = (12×0.73)m/s=(12×0.73×185)km/hr=31.5km/hr ≈ 32km/hr
