Detailed Solution

Let the diagram of the situation be,
seoIn the triangle ABC, we have C= 60   and AB=60m  . Then the length of the BC is,
tanC= AB BC tan 60 = 60 BC tan 60 = 3 BC= 60 3 m  
In triangle ADE, we have BC= 60 3 m   and D= 30  . Then, the length of the AE is,
tanD= AE ED tan 30 = AE 60 3 1 3 = AE 60 3 AE= 60 3 × 1 3 m AE=20m  
Therefore,
CD=BE=ABAE =60m20m =40m  
Hence, the correct option is 4.
