Given:
Height of the tower( PQ)= 15(√3+1) m

∠PQA= 30°, ∠PBQ= 45°

Time= 3 secs

Let the Distance of AB= y m
Distance of BQ= x m


In ∆ PQB
tan 45° = PQ/BQ
1= 15(√3+1)/ X
x= 15(√3+1) m………….(1)

In ∆ PQA
tan 30° = PQ/AQ = PQ/AB+BQ
1/√3 = 15(√3+1)/(x+y)
x+y = 15√3(√3+1)...........(2)

Put the value of x from eq 1 in eq 2

x+y = 15√3(√3+1)
15(√3+1)+ y =  15√3(√3+1)
y= 15√3(√3+1) - 15(√3+1)
y= 15(√3+1)( √3-1)
y= 15 (√3²- 1²)
y= 15 (3-1)
y= 15×2
y= 30 m

The car is moving from A to B in 3 seconds.

Speed= Distance/time

Speed= 30/3
Speed= 10 m/s

Hence, the speed of the car is 10 m/s.
