The angles of elevation of the top of a tower $A$ from the top $B$ and bottom $D$ of a building of height $a$ are $30^\circ$ and $45^\circ$ respectively. If the tower and the building stand at the same level,then the height of the tower is

  • A
    $a\sqrt{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{a\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}-1}$
  • C
    $\frac{a(3+\sqrt{3})}{2}$
  • D
    $a(\sqrt{3}-1)$

The angle of elevation of an object from a point $P$ on the level ground is $\alpha$. Moving $d$ metres on the ground towards the object, the angle of elevation is found to be $\beta$. Then the height (in metres) of the object is

Let a vertical tower $AB$ of height $2h$ stand on a horizontal ground. From a point $P$ on the ground,a man can see up to height $h$ of the tower with an angle of elevation $2\alpha$. When he moves a distance $d$ from $P$ in the direction of $\overline{AP}$,he can see the top $B$ of the tower with an angle of elevation $\alpha$. If $d=\sqrt{7}h$,then $\tan \alpha$ is equal to:
