Answer 2

$\Huge{\textbf{\textsf{{\color{navy}{An}}{\purple{Sw}}{\pink{èR}}{\color{pink}{:}}}}}$

Let OR = 10√3 m.

The angles of depression of the points are complementary and PQ = 20 m.

⇒ ∠OQR + ∠OPR = 90°

Let ∠OQR = x and ∠OPR = y

⇒ x + y = 90°

And let RQ = l m.

⇒ tan x = 10√3/l          …….. eq(1)

⇒ tan y = 10√3/(l + 20)

⇒ tan (90 – x) = 10√3/(l + 20)

⇒ cot x = 10√3/(l + 20)

We know that tan θ . cot θ = 1.

⇒ 100 × 3 = l (l + 20)

$\sf\binom{ \sqrt[10]{3} }{l} \times \binom{ \sqrt[10]{3} }{l + 20} = 1$

⇒ 10 (10 + 20) = l (l + 20)

⇒ l = 10 m.

∴ The distance of P from the building = 10 + 20 = 30 m.
