Two hagstaffs stand on a horizontal plane. A and B are two points on the line joining their feet and between them. The angles of elevation of the tops of the flagstaffs as seen from A are `30^@` and` 60^@` and as seen from B are `60^@`and `45^@`. If AB is 30 m, then the distance between the flagstaffs is

A

`30+15sqrt3`

B

`45+15sqrt3`

C

`60-15sqrt3`

D

`60+15sqrt3`
