Q3. Two ships are sailing in the sea on the two sides of a lighthouse. The angle of elevation of the top of the lighthouse is observed from the ships are 30° and 45° respectively. If the lighthouse is 100 m high, the distance between the two ships is:
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Let AB be the lighthouse and C and D be the positions of the ships.

Then, AB = 100 m, ACB = 30° and ADB = 45°.

AB= tan 30° =1         AC = AB x √3 = 100√3 m.
AC√3

AB= tan 45° = 1          AD = AB = 100 m.
AD

 CD = (AC + AD)= (100√3 + 100) m
= 100(√3 + 1)
= (100 x 2.73) m
= 273 m.
