Answer

We know that,

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

From figure,

In △ ABC,

⇒ tan 45° = ABBC\dfrac{AB}{BC}

1=AB451 = \dfrac{AB}{45}

⇒ AB = 45 m.

In △ ABD,

⇒ tan 30° = ABBD\dfrac{AB}{BD}

13=45BD\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{45}{BD}

⇒ BD = 45345\sqrt{3} m.

From figure,

DC = BD - BC = 45345=45(31)45\sqrt{3} - 45 = 45(\sqrt{3} - 1) m.

Hence, Option 3 is the correct option.
