Qutub Minar, located in South Delhi, India, was built in the year 1193. It is 72 m high tower. Working on a school project, Charu and Daljeet visited the monument. They used trigonometry to find their distance from the tower. Observe the picture given below. Points C and D represent their positions on the ground in line with the base of tower, the angles of elevation of top of the tower (Point A) are 60° and 45° from points C and D respectively.

The Statue of Unity situated in Gujarat is the world's largest Statue which stands over a 58 m high base. As part of the project, a student constructed an inclinometer and wishes to find the height of Statue of Unity using it. He noted following observations from two places : Situation – I : The angle of elevation of the top of Statue from Place A which is 80√3 m away from the base of the Statue is found to be 60°. Situation – II : The angle of elevation of the top of Statue from a Place B which is 40 m above the ground is found to be 30° and entire height of the Statue including the base is found to be 240 m. Based on given information, answer the following questions :
