Answer

We know that,

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

From figure,

In △ BCD,

⇒ tan 30° = BDCD\dfrac{BD}{CD}

13=BD10\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{BD}{10}

⇒ BD = 103\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{3}} m.

In △ ACD,

⇒ tan 60° = ADCD\dfrac{AD}{CD}

3=AD10\sqrt{3} = \dfrac{AD}{10}

⇒ AD = 10310\sqrt{3} cm.

From figure,

AB = AD + BD = 103+10310\sqrt{3} + \dfrac{10}{\sqrt{3}}

=103×3+103=30+103=403= \dfrac{10\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3} + 10}{\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{30 + 10}{\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{40}{\sqrt{3}} m.

Hence, Option 1 is the correct option.
