A man is walking towards a vertical pillar in a straight path, at a uniform speed. At a certain point A on the path, he observes that the angle of elevation of the top of the pillar is 30^0 . After walking for 10 minutes from A in the same direction, at a point B, he observes that the angle of elevation of the top of the pillar is60^0 . Then the time taken (in minutes) by him, from B to reach the pillar, is : (1) 6 (2) 10 (3) 20 (4) 5

A man moves on the path AB. He wants to see the image of the object kept at a perpendicular distance 2d apart from the path. The rays after reflection from the mirror fall on the path as shown. The man can see the image if he runs through the distance x on the path. If the length of the mirror is 4m, find the value of x (in m).
