  5. Question 5

    Heights and Distances. Asked once: CDS 2 2017

    54
    A man, standing at a point X on the bank XY of a river that cannot be crossed, observes a tower to be Nα∘EN \alpha^\circ E on the opposite parallel bank. He then walks 200 m along the bank to the point Y towards East, and finds the tower to be Nβ∘WN \beta^\circ W. From these observations, the breadth of the river will be (Given that tan⁡α∘=2\tan \alpha^\circ = 2 and tan⁡β∘=0.5\tan \beta^\circ = 0.5)
