Question

2. Two persons A and B observe the top
of a pole at an angle of elevation a and
B respectively. If a > B, then ....

A) A is nearer to the pole than B.
B) B is nearer to the pole than A.
C) A, B are at the same distance from
the pole
D) Can't compare their distances.​

Answer 1

Answer:

c) A,B are at the same distance from the pole.

Answer 2

Answer:

So A is nearer to pole than B (A) is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

As per figure

tan A=PQ/y

and tanB=PQ/x

as A > B

so tanA>tanB

PQ/y > PQ/x

1/y > 1/x

or x > y

so QB is bigger and QA is smaller

So A is nearer to pole than B (A) is correct
