Here, consecutive kilometers with respect to plane would be: x, x+1

It is not meant that the distance between the two stones is 1 km.

If we take x, x+1 are the distances, we get Option B as the answer. Pls check and confirm.

Question:
From an aeroplane just over a straight road, the angles of depression of two consecutive kilometer stones situated at opposite sides of the aeroplane were found to be 60° and 30° respectively. The height (in km) of the aeroplane from the road at that instant is:
Options:
A) \(\sqrt[]{3}\)
B) \(\cfrac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2}\)
C) \(\cfrac{\sqrt[]{3}}{3}\)
D) \(\cfrac{\sqrt[]{3}}{4}\)
Solution:
Ans: (d)


Let AD = x \(\Rightarrow\) BD = 1 – x

In \(\triangle\)ADC,

tan 60o  =\(\cfrac{h}{x}\Rightarrow x=\cfrac{h}{\sqrt{3}}\)     .........(i)

In \(\triangle\)BCD,

tan 30o = \(\cfrac{h}{1-x}\)              .........(ii)

Putting the value of x into equ. (ii),
