Trigonometry in the form of triangulation forms the basis of navigation, whether 
it is by land, sea or air. GPS a radio navigation system helps to locate our 
position on earth with the help of satellites. 
 A guard, stationed at the top of a 240m tower, observed an unidentified boat 
coming towards it. A clinometer or inclinometer is an instrument used for 
measuring angles or slopes(tilt). The guard used the clinometer to measure the 
angle of depression of the boat coming towards the lighthouse and found it to 
be 30°.

ii) After 10 minutes, the guard observed that the boat was approaching the 
tower and its distance from tower is reduced by 240(v3 - 1) m. He 
immediately raised the alarm. What was the new angle of depression of

Push-ups are a fast and effective exercise for building strength. These are 
helpful in almost all sports including athletics. While the push-up primarily 
targets the muscles of the chest, arms, and shoulders, support required from 
other muscles helps in toning up the whole body.

Nitesh wants to participate in the push-up challenge. He can currently make 
3000 push-ups in one hour. But he wants to achieve a target of 3900 push-ups 
in 1 hour for which he practices regularly. With each day of practice, he is able 
to make 5 more push-ups in one hour as compared to the previous day. If on 
first day of practice he makes 3000 push-ups and continues to practice regularly 
till his target is achieved. Keeping the above situation in mind answer the 
following questions: 
 
i) Form an A.P representing the number of push-ups per day and hence 
find the minimum number of days he needs to practice before the day 
his goal is accomplished?

goal is achieved.
