1.

The angle of elevation of the Sun, when the shadow of the pole is 3 times the height of the pole, is

  • 60°

  • 45°

  • 15°

  • 30°


D.

30°

Let AB be the pole and its shadow is BC.

According to the question,

 

Shadow of the pole = 3height of the pole BC = 3AB      ...iNow, let angle of elevation of Sun is θ.Then, in ABC,      tanθ = ABBC tanθ = AB3AB    from Eq.(i) tanθ = 13 = tan30°        θ = 30°
