let AB = CD = EQ = 1.5 m
Let distance covered by boy be BD = x
Let BD=AC=x
Let DQ=CE=y
In fig. PE=30-1.5=28.5m
Angles are 30° and 60°
tan 30 = PE/AE
1/√3=28.5/x+y
28.5√3=x+y _____(1)
tan60=PE/CE
√3=28.5/y
y=28.5/√3
Putting in equation(1)
=> x + 28.5 /√3 = 28.5√4
=> x = (28.5 × 3-28.5) /√3
=> x = (85.5-28.5) /√3
=> x =57/√3
By Rationalize:-
=57/√3×√3/√3
=57√3/3
=19√3
