Q38 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (25 Feb Shift 1) · Mathematics
A man is observing, from the top of a tower, a boat speeding towards the tower from a certain point , with uniform speed. At that point, angle of depression of the boat with the man's eye is (Ignore man's height). After sailing for seconds, towards the base of the tower (which is at the level of water), the boat has reached a point , where the angle of depression is Then the time taken (in seconds) by the boat from to reach the base of the tower is :
- A
- B
- C
- Correct answerD
Solution

Let speed of boat is and height of tower
is meter & distance metre
Time taken to travel from to (Distance
meter)
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
