Answer»

Let the hieght of lighthouse be ydistance of boat initially = 150mdistance of boat from one point to another = xthus

According to question

tan 60 = y / 150thus y = 150 root 3

tan 45 = y / x+1501 = y / x + 150Thus

y = x + 150

150 root 3 = x + 150x = 150 (root3 - 1)

thus in 2 min speed will beu = x/t = 75 (root3 -1)
