PQR is a triangular park with PQ=PR=200m . A T.V tower stands at the mid-point of QR. If the angles of elevation of the top of the tower at P , Q and R respectively `45^@` , `30^@` and `30^@` then the height of the tower in m is

A

`50 sqrt(2)`

B

100

C

50

D

`100sqrt(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

In the figure PQR is triangle park with PQ=PR = 200 TV tower to height 'h' stands at midpoint M of QR

In triangle TMR, `MR=h cot 30 ^@`
In triangle TMP, PM=TM=h
In triangle PMR, `PR^2= PM^2+MR^2`
`therefore 200^2= h^2+3h ^2`
`therefore h= 100m `
