This is a Multiple Choice Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Answer-b, c, d

Explanation- height of tower= 240m

For line of sight communication maximum distance would be d= 2 R h

So d= 2 * 6.4 * 10 6 * 240  = 55.4km

So distance under this are communicable

According to question, we can write

  d = 2 h R ⇒ d 2 d 1 = h 2 h 1 ⇒ h 2 = ( d 2 d 1 ) 2 h 1 = ( 2 1 ) 2 × 1 2 5 = 5 0 0 m

Increment in height of tower = h2 – h1 = 500 – 125 = 375 m

A signal containing multiple frequencies is shown in figure A. It is passed through 2 different filters and then outputs are shown in figure B & C.
