On a plane area there are two vertical towers separated by 100 feet apart. The shorter tower is 40 feet tall. A pole of length 6 feet stands on the line joining the base of two towers so that the tip of the towers and tip of the pole are also on the same line. If the distance of the pole from the shorter tower is 75 feet, then what is the height of the taller tower ( approximately) ?

A

85feet

B

110 feet

C

125 feet

D
