The length of a shadow of a vertical tower is 1 √3 times of its height. The angle of elevation of the Sun is :
-
- 30 °
- 45 °
- 60 °
- 90 °
Correct Option: C
Let us draw the figure from the given question.
Let, AB be tower and BC be its shadow.
| Given :- AB | = x, | then BC = | √3 |
| ∴ | tan θ = | AB | = | = | √3 | |
| BC | ||||||
| √3 |
| ∴ | tan θ = tan 60° |
| ⇒ | θ = 60° |
