Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 66.6 mts

Explanation:

ht1488353450.jpg image

From above diagram
AC represents the hill and DE represents the tower

Given that AC = 100 m

angleXAD = angleADB = 30° (∵ AX || BD )
angleXAE = angleAEC = 60° (∵ AX || CE)

Let DE = h

Then, BC = DE = h, AB = (100-h) (∵ AC=100 and BC = h), BD = CE

tan 60°=AC/CE => √3 = 100/CE =>CE = 100/√3 ----- (1)

tan 30° = AB/BD => 1/√3 = 100−h/BD => BD = 100−h(√3)
∵ BD = CE and Substitute the value of CE from equation 1
100/√3 = 100−h(√3) => h = 66.66 mts

The height of the tower = 66.66 mts.

A) 400 B) 525
C) 325 D) 475
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 400

Explanation:

Let the total number of pages in the book be 'x'.

From given data,

2x/5 + 34x/100 + 52 + 52 = x

 => 40x + 34x + 10400 = 100x

 => 26x = 10400

 => x = 400.

 Hence, total pages in the book are 400.
