The sum of angles of elevation of the top of a tower from two points distant $a$ and $b$ from the base and in the same straight line with it is $90^{\circ}$. Then, the height of the tower is

  • A
    $a^2 b$
  • B
    $a b^2$
  • C
    $\sqrt{a b}$
  • D
    $a b$

$A$ man is observing,from the top of a tower,a boat speeding towards the tower from a certain point $A$,with uniform speed. At that point,the angle of depression of the boat from the man's eye is $30^{\circ}$ (ignore the man's height). After sailing for $20 \text{ seconds}$ towards the base of the tower (which is at the level of water),the boat reaches a point $B$,where the angle of depression is $45^{\circ}$. Then,the time taken (in seconds) by the boat from $B$ to reach the base of the tower is:

An aeroplane flying at a constant speed,parallel to the horizontal ground,$\sqrt{3} \ km$ above it,is observed at an elevation of $60^\circ$ from a point on the ground. If,after five seconds,its elevation from the same point is $30^\circ$,then the speed (in $km/hr$) of the aeroplane is
