A shot is fired from a point at a distance of `200 m` from the foot of a tower `100 m` high so that it just passes over it horizontally. The direction of shot with horizontal is.A. `30^@`B. `45^@`C. `60^@`D. `70^@`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
(b) `H = 100 m, R = 2 xx 200 = 400 m`
`tan theta = (4 H)/(R ) rArr tan theta = (4 xx 100)/(400) = 1`
`rArr theta = 45^@ [because (H)/( R) = (tan theta)/(4)]`.
