There is a ship which is moving away from an iceberg 150 m high, takes 2 mins to change the angle of elevation of the top of the iceberg from 60∘ to 45∘. What is the speed of the ship?
Options:
A .  2.46 kmph
B .  1.3 kmph
C .  1.9 kmph
D .  1.7 kmph
Answer: Option C : C In a 45-45-90 triangle, sides are in the ratio 1:1:√2 Thus OB= 150 In a 30-60-90 triangle, sides are in the ration 1:√3:2 Thus OA = 50√3 Distance travelled in 2 mins = AB = 150- 50√3= 63.4 m speed = (63.42)×(601000) = 1.9 kmph
