The angles of depression from the top of a lighthouse to two boats,which are $60 \, m$ apart and in the same direction (due east),are $45^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$. The height of the lighthouse is:

  • A
    $60 \sqrt{3} \, m$
  • B
    $30(\sqrt{3}-1) \, m$
  • C
    $30(\sqrt{3}+1) \, m$
  • D
    None of these
