Two vertical poles $AB = 15 \ m$ and $CD = 10 \ m$ are standing apart on a horizontal ground with points $A$ and $C$ on the ground. If $P$ is the point of intersection of $BC$ and $AD$,then the height of $P$ (in $m$) above the line $AC$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{20}{3}$
  • B
    $5$
  • C
    $\frac{10}{3}$
  • D
    $6$

$A$ man on the top of a vertical tower observes a car moving at a uniform speed towards the tower on a horizontal road. If it takes $18 \text{ min}$ for the angle of depression of the car to change from $30^\circ$ to $45^\circ$,then after this,the time taken (in min) by the car to reach the foot of the tower is:

Two vertical poles of equal heights are $120 \, m$ apart. On the line joining their bottoms,$A$ and $B$ are two points. The angle of elevation of the top of one pole from $A$ is $45^\circ$ and that of the other pole from $B$ is also $45^\circ$. If $AB = 30 \, m$,then the height of each pole is.....$m$.
