Question

Answer the following Question. ​

Answer 1

In the figure A is the point $a$ metre above the lake, and B is horizontally $d$ metre away from A. The cloud is at point C which is $x$ metre vertically above B, so that the cloud is at $a+x$ metre above the lake. Probably its reflection will be at

From triangle ABC,

$\longrightarrow\tan\alpha=\dfrac{x}{d}$

$\longrightarrow d=\dfrac{x}{\tan\alpha}\quad\quad\dots(1)$

From triangle ABD,

$\longrightarrow\tan\beta=\dfrac{2a+x}{d}$

$\longrightarrow d=\dfrac{2a+x}{\tan\beta}\quad\quad\dots(2)$

From (1) and (2),

$\longrightarrow\dfrac{x}{\tan\alpha}=\dfrac{2a+x}{\tan\beta}$

$\longrightarrow\dfrac{\tan\beta}{\tan\alpha}=\dfrac{2a+x}{x}$

Subtracting 1,

$\longrightarrow\dfrac{\tan\beta}{\tan\alpha}-1=\dfrac{2a+x}{x}-1$

$\longrightarrow\dfrac{\tan\beta-\tan\alpha}{\tan\alpha}=\dfrac{2a}{x}$

$\longrightarrow x=\dfrac{2a\tan\alpha}{\tan\beta-\tan\alpha}$

Hence the height of the cloud in metre is,

$\longrightarrow h=a+x$

$\longrightarrow h=a+\dfrac{2a\tan\alpha}{\tan\beta-\tan\alpha}$

$\longrightarrow h=\dfrac{a\tan\alpha+a\tan\beta}{\tan\beta-\tan\alpha}$

$\longrightarrow h=\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{a\sin\alpha}{\cos\alpha}+\dfrac{a\sin\beta}{\cos\beta}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{\sin\beta}{\cos\beta}-\dfrac{\sin\alpha}{\cos\alpha}\right)}$

$\longrightarrow h=\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{a\sin\alpha\cos\beta+a\cos\alpha\sin\beta}{\cos\alpha\cos\beta}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{\sin\beta\cos\alpha-\cos\beta\sin\alpha}{\cos\alpha\cos\beta}\right)}$

$\longrightarrow h=\dfrac{a(\sin\alpha\cos\beta+\cos\alpha\sin\beta)}{\sin\beta\cos\alpha-\cos\beta\sin\alpha}$

$\longrightarrow\underline{\underline{h=\dfrac{a\sin(\alpha+\beta)}{\sin(\beta-\alpha)}}}$

Hence (2) is the answer.
