Given that,
Inclination of the string with the ground is

60 o

,
Height of kite flying above the ground

= 60 m

.
The diagrammatic representation of the given situation is,
Question Image

⇒ 32 = 60 A C ⇒ A C = 60 × 2 3 ⇒ A C = 1203 Multiply and divide by 3 . ⇒ A C = 120 × 3 3 × 3 ⇒ A C = 403 m

So, the length of the string is

403 m .

Therefore, the correct option is 2.
