The angle of elevation of an object from a point P on the level ground is α . Moving d meters on the ground towards the object, the angle of elevation is found to be β . Then the height (in meters) of the object is

a
d.tanα
b
d.cotβ
c
dcot α+cot β
d
dcot α−cot β

detailed solution

Correct option is D

tanα=hx+d⇒x+d=hcotαtanβ=hx⇒x=hcotβ∴ x+d−x=h[cotα−cotβ]⇒h=dcotα−cotβ
