  3. C600m600m
  4. D900m900m

Correct answer

D. 900m900m

Step-by-step solution

At a particular station, the TV transmission tower has a height of 100m . To triple its coverage range, height of the

Let dd be range of TV transmission.

From above figure,

d2=(h+R)2−R2{d}^{2} = {\left(h + R\right)}^{2} - {R}^{2}

⇒d2=h2+R2+2RH−R2⇒ {d}^{2} = {h}^{2} + {R}^{2} + 2RH - {R}^{2}

⇒d2=h2+2Rh⇒ {d}^{2} = {h}^{2} + 2Rh

As R≫≫hR ≫ ≫ h then, d≈2Rh...(1)d \approx \sqrt{2Rh} . . . \left(1\right)

Now, if coverage is to be increased 33 times

3d=2Rh′...(2)3d = \sqrt{2R{h}^{'}} . . . \left(2\right)

Dividing equation 22 by 11, we have

3dd=2Rh′2Rh\dfrac{3d}{d} = \sqrt{\dfrac{2R{h}^{'}}{2Rh}}

⇒9=h′h⇒ 9 = \dfrac{{h}^{'}}{h}

9h=h′9h = {h}^{'}

If h=100mh = 100m, then tower of height 900m900m is required.
