Solution

The correct option is C 100(31)m
Let D be the fixed point, AC be the pillar

CD=100m

AB is the height to be increased.

In BCD,tan45=BCDC

1=BCDC=BC100

In ACD,tan60=ACDC

3=AC100

AC=1003m

Height to be increased=AB=ACBC=1003100=100(31)m

to complete the pillar 100(31)m has to be increased.
