A tower, x metres, has a flagstaff at its top. The tower and the flagstaff subtend equal angles at a point distant y metres from the foot of the tower. The length of the flagstaff (in metres) is

A

`x(y^(2)-x^(2))/(y^(2)-x^(2))`

B

`x(y^(2)+x^(2))/(y^(2)+x^(2))`

C

`x(y^(2)+x^(2))/(y^(2)-x^(2))`

D

`x(x^(2)+y^(2))/(x^(2)+y^(2))`
