For example, tossing a coin, rolling a die, etc. are random experiments. Outcomes The results of a random experiment are called outcomes. For example, while tossing a coin, the occurrence of head or tail is the outcome. Sample space The set of all possible outcomes of a random experiment is known as sample space. Usually, it is denoted by S. For example, (i) When a coin is tossed, S = {H, T} (ii) When a die is thrown, S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} Event A subset of the sample space S related to an experiment is known as event. For example, While tossing a coin 3 times, S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT} Let A = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH}, A is the event in which at least two heads are obtained. Exhaustive cases The total number of all possible outcomes of a random experiment is known as exhaustive cases. For example, While tossing a coin, S = {H, T}. So, exhaustive cases = 2. While tossing two coins simultaneously, S = {HH, HT, TH, TT} So, exhaustive cases = 4. Favourable cases The outcomes in an random experiment which are desirable (or expected) to us are called favourable cases. For example, While tossing a coin, S = {H, T} Here, the favourable number of case of head is 1 and tail is also 1. The favourable number of cases of getting a ‘king’ when a card is drawn from a well shuffled pack of 52 cards is 4 Equally likely events Two or more events are said to be equally likely if the chance of occurring any one event is equal to the chance of occurring other events. For example, while throwing a die, the chance of coming up the numbers 1 to 6 is equal. So, they are equally likely events

For example, while tossing a coin, the occurrence of head excludes the occurrence of tail or vice versa. So, they are mutually exclusive events. Furthermore, let’s consider the experiment of throwing a die. Let A be the event, ‘the number obtained is even’. Then A = {2, 4, 6}. Again, let B be the event, ‘the number obtained is odd’. Then, B = {1, 3, 5}. Here, A ∩ B = φ None-mutually exclusive events If A and B are any two events on a sample space S and A ∩ B ≠ 0, the events are said to be none-mutually exclusive events. For example, Again, let's consider the experiment of throwing a die. Let A be the event 'the number obtained is even' and B be the event ' the number obtained is less than 5'. Then, A = {2, 4, 6} B = {1, 2, 3, 4} ∴ A ∩ B = {2, 4} It means, ‘an even number from 1 to 6’ and ‘a number less than 5’ can occur simultaneously in a single throw of a die. So, A and B are said to be none-mutually exclusive events. 15.4 Law of addition of mutually exclusive events If A and B are any two mutually exclusive events of a sample space S, the probability of the occurrence of either A or B is equal to the sum of the individual probabilities of the occurrence of A and B. i.e. P (A or B) = P (A) + P (B) i.e. P (A ∪ B) = P (A) + P (B) Further more, if A, B and C are three mutually exclusive events, then, P (A or B or C) = P (A ∪ B ∪ C) = P (A) + P (B) + P (C) and so on. A ∩ B = φ A B S A ∩ B ≠ φ A B S 2 4 1 3 5 A B S 6 A B S

Find the probability that the card may be prime numbered or even numbered card. Solution: Let, n(S) be the exhaustive cases, n(A) be the number of events of prime numbered cards, and n(B) be the number of events of even numbered cards. Here, S = {10, 11, 12, ... 21}. So, n(S) = 12 A = {11, 13, 17, 19}. So, n(A) = 4 B = {10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20}. So, n(B) = 6 Now, P(A) = n(A) n(S) = 4 12 = 1 3 P(B) = n(B) n(S) = 6 12 = 1 2 By using the law of addition of probabilities of mutually exclusive events, P (A or B) = P (A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) = 1 3 + 1 2 = 5 6 . So, the probability that the card may be prime numbered or even numbered is 5 6 . Example 2: From a pack of 52 cards, a card is drawn at random. What is the probability of getting a face card or an ace? Solution: Let n (S) be the exhaustive events, n(A) the number of events of face card and n(B) the number of events of ace. Here, n(S) = 52, n(A) = 12 and n(B) = 4 Now, by using the law of addition of probabilities of mutually exclusive events, P(A or B) = P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) = n(A) n(S) + n(B) n(S) = 12 52 + 4 52 = 16 52 = 4 13 So, the probability that the card may be a face card or an ace is 4 13 . Example 3: A bag contains 3 red, 5 blue, 7 black, and 9 white identical balls. If a ball is drawn randomly from the bag, find the probability that it may be either red, or blue or white.
Vedanta Excel in Mathematics - Book 10 304 Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur Probability Solution: Let, n(S) be the exhaustive cases, n(A) the number of cases of red balls, n(B) the number of cases of blue balls, and n(C) the number of cases of white balls. Here, n(S) = 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 = 24 n(A) = 3, n(B) = 5 and n(C) = 9 Now, by using the law of addition of probabilities of mutually exclusive events, P (A or B or C) = P (A ∪ B ∪ C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) = n(A) n(S) + n(B) n(S) + n(C) n(S) = 3 24 + 5 24 + 9 24 = 17 24 15.5 Law of addition of none-mutually exclusive events If A and B are any two none-mutually exclusive events of a sample space S, then the probability of occurrence of either A or B in single trial is given by P(A or B) = P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P (B) – P(A ∩ B) Example 4: From the pack of cards, a card is drawn randomly. Find the probability of getting it red or face card. Solution: Let, n(S) be the exhaustive cases, n(A) be the number of events of red card, and n(B) be the number of events of face cards. Here, n(S) = 52, n(A) = 26, and n(B) = 12. Also, n(A ∩ B) = 6 Now, using the law of addition of probabilities of non-mutually exclusive events, P(A or B) = P (A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B) = n(A) n(S) + n(B) n(S) – n(A ∩ B) n(S) = 26 52 + 12 52 – 6 52 = 26 + 12 – 6 52 = 32 52 = 8 13 So, the probability of getting the card red or face is 8 13 . Example 5: Two unbiased dice are rolled. Find the probability that the sum of the numbers on the two faces is either divisible by 3 or divisible by 4. Solution: Two dice can be thrown in 6n = 62 = 36 ways. (6 is the exhaustive cases of a die and n is the number of rolling dice.) S A B A ∩ B 3 faced card of heart + 3 faced card of diamond
Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur 305 Vedanta Excel in Mathematics - Book 10 Probability Let n(S) be the exhaustive cases, n(A) the number of events that the sum is divisible by 3 and n(B) the number of events that the sum is divisible by 4. Here, A = {(1, 2), (2, 1), (1, 5), (2, 4), (3, 3), (4, 2), (5, 1), (3, 6), (4, 5), (5, 4), (6, 3), (6, 6)} ∴ n(A) = 12 Also, B = {(1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 1), (2, 6), (3, 5), (4, 4), (5, 3), (6, 2), (6, 6)} ∴ n(B) = 9 The event A ∩ B happens when the sum is divisible by 3 as well as 4, i.e., when the sum is 12 which is (6, 6). ∴ n(A ∩ B) = 1. Now, by using the law of addition of probabilities of none-mutually exclusive events, P(A or B) = P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B) = n(A) n(S) + n(B) n(S) – n(A ∩ B) n(S) = 12 36 + 9 36 – 1 36 = 20 36 = 5 9 . So, the probability that the sum of the numbers on the two faces is either divisible by 3 or by 4 is 5 9 . EXERCISE 15.1 General section 1.

For example, while drawing a ball in two successive trials from a bag containing 2 red and 3 blue balls without a replacement, getting any one coloured ball in the first trial affects to get other coloured ball in the second trial. So, these are the dependent events. Independent events Two or more events are said to be independent if the occurrence or none-occurrence of one of the events does not affect the occurrence or none-occurrence of the other events.
Vedanta Excel in Mathematics - Book 10 308 Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur Probability For example, in the random experiment of tossing a coin twice or more, the occurrence of any one event in the first trial does not affect the occurrence of any other event in the second trial. So, they are independent events. 15.6 Multiplication law of probability for independent events Two or more events are said to be independent if the occurrence or none-occurrence of any one event does not affect the occurrence or none-occurrence of the other events. Suppose, a bag contains 1 red ball and 2 black balls. If a ball is drawn and again it is replaced to draw another ball, the outcomes of these two trials are independent events. Study the following possible outcomes of two trials shown in the table. R B1 B2 R R R RB1 RB2 B1 B1 R B1 B1 B1 B2 B2 B2 R B2 B1 B2 B2 Here, the probability of Red ball, P(R) = 1 3 The probability of Black ball, P(B) = 2 3 Now, from the table, (i) Probability of Red balls in both trials P(R and R) = 1 9 = 1 3 × 1 3 = P(R) × P(R) (ii) Probability of Black balls in both trials P(B and B) = 4 9 = 2 3 × 2 3 = P(B) × P(B) (iii) Probability of Red at 1st and Black in 2nd trial P(R and B) = 2 9 = 1 3 × 2 3 = P(R) × P(B) (iv) Probability of Black at 1st and Red in 2nd trial P(B and R) = 2 9 = 2 3 × 1 3 = P(B) × P(R) From the above illustrations, we can verify the following probability relationships between any two independent events. (i) P(R and R) = P(R ∩ R) = P(R) × P(R) (ii) P(B and B) = P(B ∩ B) = P(B) × P(B) (iii) P(R and B) = P(R ∩ B) = P(R) × P(B) (iv) P(B and R) = P(B ∩ R) = P(B) × P(R) Thus, if A and B are any two independent events, P(A and B) = P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B). It is called the multiplication law of probability for independent events.
Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur 309 Vedanta Excel in Mathematics - Book 10 Probability Furthermore, if A, B and C are any three independent events, P(A ∩ B ∩ C) = P(A) × P(B) × P(C) Worked-out Examples Example 1: Two cards are drawn one after another with replacement from a well shuffled pack of 52 cards. Find the probability that both cards are king. Solution: There are 4 kings in a pack of 52 cards. Let K denotes the event of king. Since the card which is drawn at first is replaced to draw another card, it is an independent event. Now, by using multiplication law of probability for independent events, P(K and K) = P(K ∩ K)= P(K) × P(K) = n(K) n(S) × n(K) n(S) = 4 52 × 4 52 = 1 13 × 1 13 = 1 169 So, the required probability is 1 169 . Example 2: A bag contains 5 red balls and 3 blue balls. A ball is drawn at random and replaced. After that another ball is drawn. Find the probability that (i) both balls are blue and (ii) none of them are blue. Solution: Here, the number of possible outcomes = total number of balls n(S) = 5 + 3 = 8 balls Let B denotes the event of blue ball. Since the ball which is drawn at first is replaced to draw another ball, it is an independent event. Now, by using multiplication law of probability for independent events, (i) P(B and B) = P(B ∩ B) = P(B) × P(B) = n(B) n(S) × n(B) n(S) = 3 8 × 3 8 = 9 64 So, the probability that both of them are blue is 9 64 . (ii) P(B and B) = [1 – P(B)] [1 – P(B)] = 1 – 3 8 1 – 3 8 = 25 64 Alternatively, none of them are blue means both of them are red. So, P(R and R) = P(R) ∩ P (R) = P(R) × P(R) = 5 8 × 5 8 = 25 64 Example 3: A box contains 4 red, 3 blue and 5 white balls. A ball is drawn at random and it is replaced, then another ball is drawn. Find the probability that (i) the first is white and the second is blue,
Vedanta Excel in Mathematics - Book 10 310 Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur Probability (ii) the first is blue and the second is red, (iii) both of them are red, (iv) both of them are of the same colour, (v) both of them are not blue. Solution: Here, the number of possible outcomes = total number of balls n(S) = 4 + 3 + 5 = 12 balls Let, R denotes red, B denotes blue and W denotes white balls. Since, the ball which is drawn at first is replaced to draw another ball, it is an independent event. Now, by using multiplication law of probability for independent events, (i) P(W and B) = P(W ∩ B)= P(W) × P(B) = n(W) n(S) × n(B) n(S) = 5 12 × 3 12 = 5 48 ∴ The probability that the first is white and the second is blue is 5 48 . (ii) P(B and R) = P(B ∩ R) = P(B) × P(R) = n(B) n(S) × n(R) n(S) = 3 12 × 4 12 = 1 12 ∴ The probability that the first is blue and the second is red is 1 12 . (iii) P(R and R) = P(R ∩ R) = P(R) × P(R) = n(R) n(S) × n(R) n(S) = 4 12 × 4 12 = 1 9 ∴ The probability that both of them are red is 1 9. (iv) P(R, R or B, B or W, W) = [P(R) × P(R)] + [P(B) × P(B)] + [P(W) × P(W)] = n(R) n(S) × n(R) n(S) + n(B) n(S) × n(B) n(S) + n(W) n(S) × n(W) n(S) = 4 12 × 4 12 + 3 12 × 3 12 + 5 12 × 5 12 = 1 9 + 1 16 + 25 144 = 50 144 = 25 72 ∴ The probability that both of them are of the same colour is 25 72 (v) Here, both of them are not blue means, they may be either RR or RW or WR or WW. So, P(R, R or R, W or W, R or WW) = [P(R) × p(R)] + [P(R) × P(W)] + [P(W) × P(R)] + [P(W) × P(W)] = n(R) n(S) × n(R) n(S) + n(R) n(S) × n(W) n(S) + n(W) n(S) × n(R) n(S) + n(W) n(S) × n(W) n(S) = 4 12 × 4 12 + 4 12 × 5 12 + 5 12 × 4 12 + 5 12 × 5 12 = 1 9 + 5 36 + 5 36 + 25 144 = 9 16 ∴ The probability that both of them are not blue is 9 16 . Alternative process Here, n(S) = 12 n(B) = 3
Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur 311 Vedanta Excel in Mathematics - Book 10 Probability ∴ P(B) = n(B) n(S) = 3 12 = 1 4 Now, P ( B ∩ B ) = [1 – P(B)] [1 – P(B)] = 1 – 1 4 1 – 1 4 = 3 4 × 3 4 = 9 16 So, the probability that both of them are not blue is 9 16 . Example 4: If two unbiased coins are tossed simultaneously, find the probability of getting (i) two heads (ii) at least one head. Solution: Here, the sample space, S = {HH, HT, TH, TT} n(S) = 4 (i) Now, by using multiplication law of probability for independent events, P(H and H) = P(H) × P(H) = 1 2 × 1 2 = 1 4 (ii) Again, P(HH or HT or TH) = P(H) × P(H) + P(H) × P(T) + P(T) × P(H) = 1 2 × 1 2 + 1 2 × 1 2 + 1 2 × 1 2 = 1 4 + 1 4 + 1 4 = 3 4 Example 5: Find the probability of getting 3 on the die and head on the coin when a die is rolled and a coin is tossed simultaneously. Solution: Here, the sample space S1 for a die = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. So, n(S1 ) = 6 The sample space S2 for a coin = {H, T}. So n(S2 ) = 2 Also, n(3) = 1 and n(H) = 1. It is the case of independent events. Now, by using the law of multiplication of probability for independent events, P(3 and H) = P(3) × P(H) = n(3) n(S1 ) × n(H) n(S2 ) = 1 6 × 1 2 = 1 12 So, the required probability is 1 12 . Example 6: The probability of solving a mathematical problem by two students A and B are 1 3 and 1 4 respectively. If the problem is given to the both students, find the probability of solving. Solution: Here, the problem may be solved by both the students. So, it is the case of none-mutually exclusive event. Alternative process Here, n(HH) = 1. ∴ P(HH) = n(HH) n(S) = 1 4 Alternative process Here, n(at least one head) n(A) = 3 ∴ P(A) = n(A) n(S) = 3 4 .
Vedanta Excel in Mathematics - Book 10 312 Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur Probability ∴ P (A or B) = P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B) Also, the problem solving event is independent. ∴ P (A and B) = P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B) = 1 3 × 1 4 = 1 12 Now, P(A ∪ B)= P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B) = 1 3 + 1 4 – 1 12 = 4 + 3 – 1 12 = 6 12 = 1 2 So, the required probability is 1 2 .

Every branch of a tree diagram shows the probability of respective event in a particular trial. From a tree diagram, the probability of a particular event of a random experiment can be obtained as the product of the probabilities of the event in different trials along the path of the event. Let’s consider an example of tossing of a coin 3 times and calculate the probabilities of the events. www.geogebra.org/classroom/snw4y23d Classroom code: SNW4 Y23D Vedanta ICT Corner Please!

Suppose, a box contains 5 red and 3 black balls. Let a ball be drawn at random and not replaced.
Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur 315 Vedanta Excel in Mathematics - Book 10 Probability Here, in the first trial, P(R) = 5 8 and P(B) = 3 8 Let, the outcome in the first trial be red ball. Then, in the second trial, P(R) = 4 7 and P(B) = 3 7 Let, the outcome in the first trial be black ball. Then, in the second trial, P(R) = 5 7 and P(B) = 2 7 Now, let’s denote the occurrence of red ball by R1 , or the occurrence of white ball by W1 in the first trial; the occurrence of red ball by R2 or the occurrence of white ball by W2 in the second trial. Then, from the above illustrations, P(R2 /R1 ) [read as ‘probability of R2 given that R1 has occurred] = 4 7 P(B2 /B1 ) [read as ‘probability of B2 given that B1 has occurred] = 2 7 P(R2 /B1 ) [read as ‘probability of R2 given that B1 has occurred] = 5 7 P(B2 /R1 ) [read as ‘probability of B2 given that R1 has occurred] = 3 7 Now, the multiplication law of probability in the case of dependent events can be stated as following. P(R1 and R2 ) = P(R1 ∩ R2 ) = 5 8 × 4 7 = P(R1 ) × P(R2 /R1 ) P(B1 and B2 ) = P(B1 ∩ B2 ) = 3 8 × 2 7 = P(B1 ) × P(B2 /B1 ) P(R1 and B2 ) = P(R1 ∩ B2 ) = 5 8 × 3 7 = P(R1 ) × P(B2 /R1 ) P(B1 and R2 ) = P(B1 ∩ R2 ) = 3 8 × 5 7 = P(B1 ) × P(R2 /B1 ) Study the following tree diagram to illustrate these probabilities. 5 red 3 black 4 red 3 black 5 red 2 black P(R1 ) = 5 8 P(B1 ) = 3 8 P(R2 /R1 ) = 4 7 P(B2 /R1 ) = 3 7 P(R2 /B1 ) = 5 7 P(B2 /B1 ) = 2 7 RR → P(RR) = 5 8 × 4 7 = 5 14 RB → P(RB) = 5 8 × 3 7 = 15 56 BR → P(BR) = 3 8 × 3 7 = 15 56 BB → P(BB) = 3 8 × 3 7 = 3 28 5 red 3 black 4 red 3 black 5 red 2 black

Illustrate the probabilities of son or daughter by drawing a tree diagram and calculate the probability that both are girls. Solution: Let S be the event of son and D be the event of daughter. Probability tree diagram: P(S1 ) = 1 2 P(D1 ) = 1 2 P(D2 ) = 1 2 P(S2 ) = 1 2 P(D2 ) = 1 2 P(S2 ) = 1 2 S D S D S D P(SS) = 1 2 × 1 2 = 1 4 P(SD) = 1 2 × 1 2 = 1 4 P(DS) = 1 2 × 1 2 = 1 4 P(DD) = 1 2 × 1 2 = 1 4 From the tree diagram, The probability of both are girls= P(DD) = P(D) × P(D) = 1 2 × 1 2 = 1 4 So, the probability of both are girls is 1 4 . Example 2: There were three black and five white balls in a box. Two balls were drawn at random one by one. Find the probability that both balls are of the same colour. (no replacement) Solution: Let B1 or W1 denote the occurrence of black or white ball in the first trial and let B2 or W2 denote the occurrence of black or white ball in the second trial. Here, the number of possible outcomes = total number of balls = 3 + 5 = 8 balls. Since the ball which is drawn at first is not replaced to draw another ball, it is a dependent event. Now, by using multiplication law of probability for a dependent event, P(B1 B2 ) = P(B1 ) × P(B2 /B1 ) = 3 8 × 2 7 = 3 28 Also, P(W1 ,W2 ) = P(W1 ) × P(W2 /W1 ) = 5 8 × 4 7 = 5 14 Again, the probability of both balls are same colour is P(B1 B2 or W1 W2 ) = P(B1 B2 ) + P(W1 W2 ) = 3 28 + 5 14 = 3 + 10 28 = 13 28 So, the probability that both balls are of the same colour is 13 28.

Two balls are drawn randomly one after the other. Show the probability in a tree diagram. Also find the probability of (i) getting both white balls and (ii) getting none of white balls. Solution: Let W1 and B1 denote the occurrence of white or black ball in the first trial and let W2 and B2 denote the occurrence of white or black ball in the second trial. Here, the number of possible outcomes = total number of balls = 5 + 4 = 9 balls Clearly, the balls are drawn one after the other indicates that there is no replacement. So, it is a dependent event.

By drawing a tree-diagram, find the probability that both card are jacks. Solution: Let J1 or J1 denote the occurrence of jack or the card except jack in the first trial and J2 or J2 denotes the occurrence of jack or the card except jack in the second trial. Here, the number of possible outcomes = 52. Since the card which is drawn at first is not replaced, it is a dependent event.

A ball is drawn randomly and not replaced, then another ball is drawn. Write the sample space of the experiment using a tree diagram and find the probability of getting at least one red ball. Solution: Let R, B and W denote the red, blue and white ball. Here, the number of possible outcomes = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 When the first ball is drawn, it is not replaced to draw another ball. So, it is a dependent event.

Here, side AC is opposite to the right angled and it is hypotenuse (h). Side BC is opposite to the angle of reference (q) and it is perpendicular (p). Side BC is adjacent to the angle of reference (q) and it is base (b). Now, we can make six different ratios of the various pairs of the sides of a right-angled triangle. These ratios are given below: (i) perpendicular hypotenuse = p h which is called sine of θ or sinθ . (ii) base hypotenuse = b h which is called cosine of θ or cosθ. (iii) perpendicular base = p b Which is called tangent of θ or tanθ. (iv) hypotenuse perpendicular = h p Which is called cosecant of θ or cosecθ. (v) hypotenuse base = h b which is called secant of θ or secθ. (vi) base perpendicular = b p which is called cotangent of θ or cotθ. Here, sinθ, cosθ, and tanθ are the main ratios and cosecθ, secθ, and cotθ are inverse ratios of the main ratios respectively. 16.2 Values of trigonometric ratios of some standard angles The angles like 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90° are commonly known as the standard angles. The values of trigonometric ratios of these standard angles can also be obtained geometrically without using the table.

In such cases, we have to solve right angled triangles. For example, in the figure, AB is the height of a tree, BC is the distance between the tree and the observer at C. Here, if θ and BC are known, we can calculate the height AB or if θ and AB are known, we can calculate the distance between the tree and the observer by using a trigonometric ratio. 16.4 Angle of elevation and angle of depression In the adjoining figure, an observer is looking at the top of a tower. Here, OA is called the line of sight and OB is the horizontal line. ∠BOA is the angle between the upward line of sight and the horizontal line. ∠BOA is called the angle of elevation. Thus, the angle made by upward line of sight with horizontal line is known as angle of elevation. In this figure, ∠BOA is the angle between the downward line of sight and the horizontal line. ∠BOA is called the angle of depression.

Approved by Curriculum Development Centre, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur 325 Vedanta Excel in Mathematics - Book 10 Trigonometry Thus, the angle made by downward line of sight with horizontal line is known as angle of depression. In the adjoining figure, the horizontal lines AC and BO are parallel to each other. The angle of depression CAO and the angle of elevation BOA are alternate angles between parallel lines. ∴ ∠ CAO = ∠ BOA i.e., Angle of depression= Angle of elevation. The instrument which is used to measure the angle of elevation or the angle of depression is called Theodolite. Worked-out Examples Example 1: In the figure given alongside, AB = height of a boy, CD = height of a tree, BD = distance between the boy and the tree, ∠CAE = angle made by the line of sight with horizontal line. (i) What is the ∠CAE called? (ii) What are the lengths of AE and ED? (iii) Find the height of the tree. (iv) What change will be in ∠CAE when the boy moves towards the tree? Give reason. Solution: Here, AB = height of a boy = 5 ft, CD = height of a tree BD = distance between the boy and the tree = 50 ft, ∠CAE = angle made by the line of sight with horizontal line = 45o (i) ∠CAE is the angle of elevation of the top of the tree. (ii) AE = BD = 50 ft and ED = AB = 5 ft. (iii) In right angled triangle ACE; tan 45o = p b = CE AE or, 1 = CE 50 ft or, CE = 50 ft. Now, CD = CE + ED = 50 ft. + 5 ft. = 55 ft. So, the height of the tree is 55 ft. (iv) ∠CAE becomes larger when the boy moves towards the tree because the distance between the boy and the tree decreases.

Example 10: Two men are on the opposite side of a tower of 30 m high. They observed the angle of elevation of the top of the tower and found to be 30° and 60° respectively. Find the distance between them. Solution: Let AB be the height of the tower and CD be the distance between the two men. Here, AB = 30 m Angles of elevation BCA = 30° and ∠ BDA = 60°. In rt. ∠ed ∆ ABC, tan30° = p b = AB BC or, 1 3 = 30 BC or, BC = 30 3 = 30 × 1.732 = 52.05 m Again, in rt. ∠ ed ∆ ABD, tan60° = p b = AB BD or, 3 = 30 BD or, BD = 30 3 = 30 3 × 3 3 = 30 3 3 = 10 3 = 17.32 m Now, CD = BC + BD = 52.05 m + 17.32 m = 69.37 m So, the required distance between the men is 69.37 m.
