Since A, B and C are the angles of a Δ,
∴ A + B + C = 180° .................... (1)
According to question,
A – B = 15° ;
⇒ A = B + 15°...................(2)
B – C = 30°;
⇒ B = C + 30°;....................(3)
Put the value of B from equation (2) in Equation (1), we will get
∴ A = B + 15°
A = C + 30° + 15°
A = C + 45° ......................(4)
From a equation,
∴ A + B + C = 180°
⇒ (C + 45°) + (C + 30°) + C = 180°
⇒ 3C + 45° + 30° = 180°
⇒ 3C = 180° – 75° = 105°
⇒ C = 35° ...........................(5)
From equation (4)
A = C + 45°
Put the value of C from equation (5) , we will get
∴ ∠A = 35° + 45° = 80°.

B completes = 100% – 60% = 40% of the work

Hence, Option A is correct.

Let AB be the taller building of height 60 m and CD be the smaller one of height h m.

⇒ DB / AB = tan 30º = 1/√3

⇒ DB = AB x tan 30º

= 34.64 m.

tan 30º = AE/CE = AE/DB = 1/ = AE/34.64

∴ AE = 60 – h = 20

∴ h = 40 m

When his speed becomes 3/4th, his time would increase by 1/3rd. Thus, the normal time = 7.5 hrs.
(since increased time = 2.5 hrs).

 a = -3 and a(2) = 4
a = -3
d = 4 - a = 4 - (-3) = 7
a(21)=a + (21-1) x d
= -3 + (20) x 7
= -3 + 140
= 137

HCF = 12
Numbers = 12x and 12y
where x and y are prime to each other.
∴ 12x × 12y = 2160

= 15 = 3 × 5, 1 × 15
Possible pairs = (36, 60) and (12, 180)
Hence , Number of such possible pairs is 2.

Kalu’s speed = 3 m/s.
For 1200 m, Kalu would take 400 seconds and Sambhu would take 10 seconds less. Hence, 390
seconds.

Hence, Option B is correct.

Let AB be the observer and CD be the tower.

Draw BE ⊥ CD.

Then, CE = AB = 1.6 m,

BE = AC = 20√3 m.

∴ CD = CE + DE = (1.6 + 20) m = 21.6 m.
