A man wants to distinguish between two pillars located at a distance of `11 km`. What should be the minimum distance between the pillars ?

A

1.6 m

B

3.2 m

C

0.8 mm

D

5 m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`d theta=1'=((1)/(60))^(@)=(pi)/(180xx60)` radian
if d is the atual distance between the pillars, then
`d/D=d theta`
`therefore d =Dxxd theta=11000xx(pi)/(180xx60) underset(.)overset(.)(=)3.2m`
