An aeroplane flying at a constant speed, parallel to the horizontal ground, above it is observed at an elevation of from a point on the ground. If after five seconds, its elevation from the same point is , then the speed (in ) of the aeroplane is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Let from point the angle of elevation of plane at is .
and after seconds it reach at
In
In
Hence, distance
Now, speed equals total distance travelled divided by total time taken.
Thus, speed
