$A$ tower, of $x$ metres high, has a flagstaff at its top. The tower and the flagstaff subtend equal angles at a point distant $y$ metres from the foot of the tower. Then, the length of the flagstaff (in metres) is:

  • A
    $\frac{y\left(x^2-y^2\right)}{\left(x^2+y^2\right)}$
  • B
    $\frac{x\left(y^2+x^2\right)}{\left(y^2-x^2\right)}$
  • C
    $\frac{x\left(x^2+y^2\right)}{\left(x^2-y^2\right)}$
  • D
    $\frac{x\left(x^2-y^2\right)}{\left(x^2+y^2\right)}$

The horizontal distance between two towers is $60 \ m$. The angle of depression of the top of the first tower as seen from the top of the second tower is $30^\circ$. If the height of the second tower is $150 \ m$,then the height of the first tower is:

$A$ man is walking towards a vertical pillar in a straight path,at a uniform speed. At a certain point $A$ on the path,he observes that the angle of elevation of the top of the pillar is $30^o$. After walking for $10 \text{ minutes}$ from $A$ in the same direction,at a point $B$,he observes that the angle of elevation of the top of the pillar is $60^o$. Then the time taken (in minutes) by him,from $B$ to reach the pillar,is:

The angle of elevation of the top of a hill from a point on the horizontal plane passing through the foot of the hill is found to be $45^{\circ}$. After walking a distance of $80 \ m$ towards the top,up a slope inclined at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ to the horizontal plane,the angle of elevation of the top of the hill becomes $75^{\circ}$. Then the height of the hill (in meters) is
