Height of the aeroplane from the two ships = 7500m
The angles of depression of two ships from an aeroplane are

30 °

and

45 ° .

Consider the figure,
Question Image

The distance between ships is,

x = 7500 tan 30 ° − 7500 tan 45 ° ⇒ x = 75003 − 7500 ⇒ x = 7500 (3 − 1) ⇒ x = 5475 m

Thus, the distance between the ships is 5475 m.
Therefore, option 1 is correct.
