A man standing at a point P is watching the top of a tower, which makes an angle of elevation of 30° with the man's eye. The man walks some distance towards the tower to watch its top and the angle of the elevation becomes 60°. What is the distance between the base of the tower and the point P?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
One of AB, AD and CD must have given.
So, the data is inadequate.

No, the Information is inadequate. Moreover, the graph is also wrong.
The angle must be made from man's eye, not from the foot. The person is in standing position. Not laying on the ground.

The problem contains 3 unknown variables in 2 equations. We need another equation to solve it. Hence data inadequate.

This data is insufficient because not any perfect side given. If any perpendicular distance given than solve it otherwise not solve.
