From a point on the level ground, the angle of elevation of the top of a pole is $30^{\circ}$. On moving $20 \ m$ nearer to the pole, the angle of elevation becomes $45^{\circ}$. The height of the pole (in metres) is:

  • A
    $10(\sqrt{3}-1)$
  • B
    $10(\sqrt{3}+1)$
  • C
    $15$
  • D
    $20$

$A$ tower stands at the centre of a circular park. $A$ and $B$ are two points on the boundary of the park such that $AB = a$ subtends an angle of $60^{\circ}$ at the foot of the tower,and the angle of elevation of the top of the tower from $A$ or $B$ is $30^{\circ}$. The height of the tower is

$A$ vertical pole (more than $100 \, ft$ high) consists of two portions,the lower being one-third of the whole. If the upper portion subtends an angle $\tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})$ at a point in a horizontal plane through the foot of the pole and at a distance of $40 \, ft$ from it,then the height of the pole is......$ft$.
