Solution

The correct option is C

Both statements I and II are required




In ΔFPL,

sin30=PLPFPL=PF sin30=(1×12)km=12 kmOM=PL=12 kmMS=OSOM=(h12) km
Also, cos30=FLPFFL=PFcos30=(1×32)=32 km
Now, h=OS=OL+LFh=OL+32OL=(h32) kmPM=(h32) km
In ΔSPM,

tan60=SMPMSM=PM tan60(h12)=(h32)3(h12)=(3n32)(3hh)=3212
h(31)=1h=131
Both the statements are required
