Question

A drone was used to facilitate movement of an ambulance on the straight highway to a point P on the ground where there was an accident. The ambulance was travelling at the speed of 60 km/h. The drone stopped at a point Q, 100 m vertically above the point P. The angle of depression of the ambulance was found to be 30° at a particular instant. Based on above information, answer the following questions :

Assertion (A) : A ladder leaning against a wall, stands at a horizontal distance of 6 m from the wall. If the height of the wall up to which the ladder reaches is 8 m, then the length of the ladder is 10 m. Reason (R): The ladder makes an angle of 60° with the ground.

Two ships are sailing in the sea on either side of a lighthouse. The angles of depression to the two ships as observed from the top of the lighthouse are 60° and 45°, respectively. If the distance between the ships is 100((1 + √3)/√3) m, then find the height of the lighthouse.

The angles of depression of the top and the bottom of an 8 m tall building from the top of another multistoried building are 30° and 45°, respectively. Find the height of the multistoried building and the distance between the two buildings.
