Solution

The correct option is C

122.13 cm2


Draw CD perpendicular to AB extended till D.

CBD=180130=50

Tan 50=CDBD=hx

h=x tan 50

h=1.2x ...(i)

In Δ ACD

Tan 30=CDAD=h(15+x)

h=(15+x).Tan 30

h=(15+x).0.57

h=8.55+0.57x from ... (i)

From (i) & (ii) we have

1.2 x=8.55+0.57 x

0.63 x=8.55

x=13.57

h=1.2x from ...(i)

h=1.2×13.57

h=16.28

Area of triangle ABC =12×AB×h

=12×15×16.28

=122.13 cm2
