The angle of elevation of the top of a tower at a point on the ground is $30^\circ$. If on walking $20 \, m$ toward the tower,the angle of elevation becomes $60^\circ$,then the height of the tower is:

  • A
    $10 \, m$
  • B
    $\frac{10}{\sqrt{3}} \, m$
  • C
    $10\sqrt{3} \, m$
  • D
    None of these

The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point $A$ due north of it is $\alpha$ and from a point $B$ at a distance of $9$ units due west of $A$ is $\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}}\right)$. If the distance of the point $B$ from the tower is $15$ units,then $\cot \alpha$ is equal to.
