bank of a nearby river. Akshat was very happy to see the pollution free
environment near the river.
He was standing on the bank of the river He thought to measure the width of the
river. He found that the angle of elevation of the top of a tree standing on the
opposite bank was 60∘ When he moved 30 m away from the river the angle of
elevation reduced to 30o
