Two poles standing on a horizontal ground are of heights $5 \, m$ and $10 \, m$ respectively. The line joining their tops makes an angle of $15^o$ with the ground. Then the distance (in $m$) between the poles is:

  • A
    $\frac{5}{2} \, (2 + \sqrt{3})$
  • B
    $5 \, (\sqrt{3} + 1)$
  • C
    $5 \, (2 + \sqrt{3})$
  • D
    $10 \, (\sqrt{3} - 1)$
