Given that the elevation to the top of the tower from the feet of one person due south is = 45°
Similarly the angle of elevation to the top of tower from the feet of another person to the west of tower is = 30°
The given information can be represented in the form of a diagram as below:
We need to find the distance AB.
Let the distance of A, B from the tower be x 1 ,x 2 .
Hence this is the correct option.
