Two poles of equal heights are standing opposite to each other on either side of a 100 m road. From a point between them, the elevations are 30° and 60°. Find the pole height.
A25√3 m
B50 m
C30√3 m
D20√3 m
✓ Correct Answer: A — 25√3 m
h = x*tan60 = (100-x)*tan30. x√3 = (100-x)/√3 => 3x = 100-x => x=25. h = 25√3.
