A spherical gas balloon of radius 16 meter subtends an angle 60° at the eye of the observer A while the angle of elevation of its center from the eye of A is 75°. Then the height (in meter) of the top most point of the balloon from the level of the observer's eye is:

Correct Option - 2
Detailed Solution:

Let C be center, O be observer. Let R be radius of balloon. sin30° = R/OC = 16/OC ⇒ OC=32.
Let H be height of center. sin75°=H/OC ⇒ H=32sin75°.
Topmost point height = H+R = 32sin75°+16 = 8 (√6+√2)+16 = 8 (√6+√2+2).
