Answer : 3. "66.6 mts"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 66.6 mts Explanation: From above diagramAC represents the hill and DE represents the tower Given that AC = 100 m angleXAD = angleADB = 30° (∵ AX || BD ) angleXAE = angleAEC = 60° (∵ AX || CE) Let DE = h Then, BC = DE = h, AB = (100-h) (∵ AC=100 and BC = h), BD = CE tan 60°=AC/CE => √3 = 100/CE =>CE = 100/√3 ----- (1) tan 30° = AB/BD => 1/√3 = 100−h/BD => BD = 100−h(√3)∵ BD = CE and Substitute the value of CE from equation 1 100/√3 = 100−h(√3) => h = 66.66 mts The height of the tower = 66.66 mts.

Answer : 2. "60 degrees"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 60 degrees Explanation: Given the angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio of 2:4:7:5Let the angles of a quadrilateral are 2x, 4x, 7x, 5xBut we know that sum of the angles = 360 degrees.=> 2x + 4x + 7x + 5x = 360=> x = 20Therfore, the smallest angle of the quadrilateral = 2x = 2x20 = 40 degrees.One of the angle of the triangle = 2 x 40 = 80 degreesThe other angle is 180 - (40 + 80) = 60 degrees. Hence the second largest angle of the triangle is 60 degrees.
