SOLUTION
Let A & B be two Position of the ship.
Then AB = d
Let observer be the point O the top of the light house PO
=) PO = 100m (Given)
Given,
Angle OAP = 30°
angle OBP = 45°
In ∆OPB
=) tan 45°= OP/BP
=) 1= 100/BP
=) BP= 100m
In ∆OPA
=)tan 30° = OP/AP
=) 1/√3= 100/d+ BP
=) 1/√3= 100/d+100
Solving
=) d= 73.2 metres
hope it helps ✔️
