  • A
    $20 \sqrt{3}$
  • B
    $25 \sqrt{3}$
  • C
    $30$
  • D

The angle of elevation of the top $P$ of a vertical tower $PQ$ of height $10$ from a point $A$ on the horizontal ground is $45^{\circ}$. Let $R$ be a point on $AQ$ and from a point $B$,vertically above $R$,the angle of elevation of $P$ is $60^{\circ}$. If $\angle BAQ = 30^{\circ}$,$AB = d$ and the area of the trapezium $PQRB$ is $\alpha$,then the ordered pair $(d, \alpha)$ is.
