Q:

A plane is going in circles around an airport. The plane takes 3 minutes to complete one round. The angle of elevation of the plane from a point P on the ground at time t seconds is equal to that at time (t + 30) seconds. At time (t + x) seconds, the plane flies vertically above the point P. What is x equal to?

A) 75 seconds B) 90 seconds
C) 105 seconds D) 135 seconds
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 105 seconds

Explanation:
Let the plane be at point A at t se
conds and at point B
after t + 30 seconds
Since the motion is uniform, we can say that at time t+15 seconds, the plane is above the point is
diametrically opposite to the point P from where the angle is same.
Now since the time taken to cover the full circ
le is 3 minutes (180
seconds), the time taken by the plane
to reach the diametrically opposite point will be 90 seconds.
So the time after which the plane reaches the point P will be = t+ 15 + 90 seconds = (t + 105 )seconds
