The Government of India is planning to fix a hoarding board at the face of the
building on the road of a busy market for awareness on COVID – 19 protocol. Ram,
Robert and Rahim are the three engineers who are working on the project. “A” is
considered to be a person viewing the hoarding board 20 meters away from the
building, standing at the edge of a pathway nearby. Ram, Robert and Rahim
suggested to the firm to place the hoarding board at three different locations namely
C, D and E. “C” is at the height of 10 meters from the ground level. For the viewer A,
the angle of elevation of “D” is double the angle of elevation of “C”. The angle of
elevation of “E” is the triple the angle of elevation of “C” for the same viewer. Look
