Detailed Solution

We are given a tower that is 100 m high and a point 100 m away from the base of the tower.
Let ‘ θ   ’ be the angle of elevation.
Question ImageWe know,
tanθ=PerpendicularBase
tan45°=1
In triangle ACB,
  tanθ = 100 100 tanθ =1 θ = 45 °  
Thus the angle of elevation is 45.
Thus, option 3 is correct.
