A cyclist observes that the angle of elevation of the top of a tower of height 15 m is 30∘. After 5 minutes, the angle of elevation is 60∘. Riding at the same speed, how long (in sec) would it take further for him to reach the base of the tower?

Let the Height of the Tower be AD=h
and let the height of Building be CE=15
In △ADE
⇒tan60=
DE
AD
=
DE
h
⇒DE=
3
h
and we can see that BCDE is a Rectangle
⇒BC=DE=
3
h
and BD=CE
so, in △ABC
⇒tan30
o
=
BC
AB
=
h/
3
AB
⇒h=3AB⇒AB=
3
h
Now, it is given that CE=15⇒AD−AB=15⇒h−

h
=

2h
=15⇒h=22.5 m
and DE=
3
h
=

22.5
=13 m (Take

=1.73)
