A person standing at point P sees angle of elevation of the top of a building, whose base is 50 meters away, to be 60 o . Another building whose base is 20 meters away from the base of the first building and is between the observer and first building has height h meters, then the maximum possible height (in meters) of this second building is (Take 3 = 1.73 )

Correct answer

51.9

Step-by-step solution

Since initial building can be observed from the point P ⇒ h ≤ 30 3 = 30 1.73 = 51.90 meters
