  1. Question 1

    Q1. A person standing on the bank of a river observes that the angle subtended by a tree on the opposite bank is 60°. When he retreats 20 m from the bank, he finds the angle to be 30°. Find the height of the tree.

    • A) 10√3 m
    • B) 20√3 m
    • C) 10 m
    • D) 20 m

    Answer: 10√3 m

    Explanation: Using trigonometric ratios and the given angles, we can form equations to solve for the height of the tree.
