Q31 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (25 Jul Shift 1) · Mathematics
A spherical gas balloon of radius meter subtends an angle at the eye of the observer while the angle of elevation of its center from the eye of is . Then the height (in meter) of the top most point of the balloon from the level of the observer's eye is :
- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution

Assume, is the centre of sphere
and are the point of contact of tangents from
Let be top most point of balloon & be foot of perpendicular from to ground.
From triangle
From triangle
So the height (in meter) of the top most point of the balloon from the level of the observer's eye is
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
