Answer

We know that,

tan θ = PerpendicularBase\dfrac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}

From figure,

In △ ABD,

⇒ tan 45° = ADBD\dfrac{AD}{BD}

1=1BD1 = \dfrac{1}{BD}

⇒ BD = 1 m.

In △ ACD,

⇒ tan 30° = ADCD\dfrac{AD}{CD}

13=1CD\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{1}{CD}

⇒ CD = 3\sqrt{3} m.

From figure,

BC = BD + CD = (1+3)(1 + \sqrt{3}) m.

Hence, Option 3 is the correct option.
