Last updated at August 20, 2026 by Teachoo
Two men on either side of a temple of 30 meters high observe its top at the angles of elevation ๐ผ and ๐ฝ respectively. (as shown in the figure above). The distance between the two men is 40โ3 meters and the distance between the first person A and the temple is 30 โ3 meters. Based on the above information answer the following:

โ CAB = ๐ผ =
(a)ย sin
-1
ย (2/โ3)
(b)ย sin
-1
ย (1/2)
(c)ย sin

Two men on either side of a temple of 30 meters high observe its top at the angles of elevation ๐ผ and ๐ฝ respectively. (as shown in the figure above). The distance between the two men is 40โ3 meters and the distance between the first person A and the temple is 30 โ3 meters. Based on the above information answer the following:
Question 1 โ CAB = ๐ผ = (a) ใ๐ ๐๐ใ^(โ1) (2/โ3) (b) ใ๐ ๐๐ใ^(โ1) (1/2) (c) ใ๐ ๐๐ใ^(โ1) (2) (d) ใ๐ ๐๐ใ^(โ1) (โ3/2)
In ฮ ABD
tan ๐ถ = ๐ต๐ท/๐ด๐ท
tan ๐ถ = 30/(30โ3)
tan ๐ถ = 1/โ3
โด ๐ถ = 30ยฐ = ๐ /๐
Thus,
sin ๐ถ = sin 30ยฐ
= 1/2
So, sin ๐ถ = 1/2
๐ถ = ใ๐๐๐ใ^(โ๐) (๐/๐)
So, correct answer is (b)
Question 2 โ CAB = ๐ผ = (a) ใ๐๐๐ ใ^(โ1) (1/5) (b) ใ๐๐๐ ใ^(โ1) (2/5) (c) ใ๐๐๐ ใ^(โ1) (โ3/2) (d) ใ๐๐๐ ใ^(โ1) (4/5)
Now, ๐ถ = 30ยฐ = ๐ /๐
Thus,
cos ๐ถ = cos 30ยฐ
= โ3/2
So, sin ๐ถ =โ3/2
๐ถ = ใ๐๐๐ ใ^(โ1) (โ3/2)
So, correct answer is (c)
Question 3 โ BCA = ๐ฝ = (a) ใ๐ก๐๐ใ^(โ1) (1/2) (b) ใ๐ก๐๐ใ^(โ1) (2) (c) ใ๐ก๐๐ใ^(โ1) (1/โ3) (d) ใ๐ก๐๐ใ^(โ1) (โ3)
In ฮ ABD
tan ๐ฝ = ๐ต๐ท/๐ด๐ท
tan ๐ฝ = 30/(10โ3)
tan ๐ฝ = 3/โ3
tan ๐ฝ = โ3
๐ฝ = ใ๐ก๐๐ใ^(โ1) (โ3)
So, the correct answer is (d)
Also,
๐ฝ = 60ยฐ = ๐ /๐
Question 4 โ ABC = (a) ๐/4 (b) ๐/6 (c) ๐/2 (d) ๐/3
Since ๐ถ = 30ยฐ and ๐ฝ = 60ยฐ
In ฮ ABC,
By Angle sum property
๐ถ + ๐ฝ + โ ABC = 180ยฐ
30ยฐ + 60ยฐ + โ ABC = 180ยฐ
โ ABC = 90ยฐ
โ ABC = ๐ /๐
So, the correct answer is (c)
Question 5 Domain and Range of cosโ1 ๐ฅ = (a) (โ1, 1), (0 , ๐) (b) [โ1, 1], (0 , ๐) (c) [โ1, 1], [0 , ๐] (d) (โ1, 1), [โ๐/2, ๐/2]
Since cos x is defined at x = 0, and x = ๐
Domain of cosโ1 ๐ฅ includes โ1 and 1
Range of cosโ1 ๐ฅ also includes 0 and ๐
So, the correct answer is (c)
