    $10 \, m$
  • B
    $\frac{10}{\sqrt{3}} \, m$
  • C
    $10\sqrt{3} \, m$

If the angles of elevation of the top of a tower from three collinear points $A, B$ and $C$ on a line leading to the foot of the tower are $30^o, 45^o$ and $60^o$ respectively,then the ratio $AB : BC$ is:

$A$ balloon is observed simultaneously from three points $A, B$ and $C$ on a straight road directly under it. The angular elevation at $B$ is twice and at $C$ is thrice that of $A$. If the distance between $A$ and $B$ is $200$ metres and the distance between $B$ and $C$ is $100$ metres,then the height of the balloon is:
