The angle of elevation of a stationary cloud from a point $2500 \ m$ above a lake is $15^{\circ}$ and from the same point the angle of depression of its reflection in the lake is $45^{\circ}$. The height (in metres) of the cloud above the lake, given that $\cot 15^{\circ}=2+\sqrt{3}$, is

  • A
    $2500$
  • B
    $2500 \sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $2500 \sqrt{3}$
  • D
    $5000$

The angle of elevation of the top of a mobile tower from three points $P, Q$ and $R$ (on a straight line through the foot of the tower) are $\alpha, \beta$ and $\gamma$ respectively. If all three points lie on the same side of the foot of the tower and $\alpha : \beta : \gamma = 1 : 2 : 3$ and $PQ = l$,then the height of the tower is -

$A$ flag-staff of $5 \, m$ high stands on a building of $25 \, m$ high. An observer is at a height of $30 \, m$. The flag-staff and the building subtend equal angles at the observer. The distance of the observer from the top of the flag-staff is

$A$ bird is sitting on the top of a vertical pole $20 \ m$ high and its angle of elevation from a point $O$ on the ground is $45^o$. It flies off horizontally straight away from the point $O$. After one second,the angle of elevation of the bird from $O$ is reduced to $30^o$. Then the speed (in $m/s$) of the bird is

$A$ sphere with centre $O$ sits on the top of a pole as shown in the figure. An observer on the ground is at a distance $50 \ m$ from the foot of the pole. She notes that the angles of elevation from the observer to points $P$ and $Q$ on the sphere are $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$,respectively. Then,the radius of the sphere in metres is
