A balloon is moving up in air vertically above a point A on the ground. When it is a height h1, a girl standing at a distance d (point B) from A (see figure) sees it at an angle 45° with respect to the vertical. When the balloon climbs up a further height h2, it is seen at an angle 60° with respect to the vertical if the girl moves further by a distance 2.464 d (point C). Then the height h2 is (given tan30°=0.5774):

The correct answer is: d

t45=h1d

h1=d   .......(i)

h1+h2d+2.464d=tan30°=13=0.5774

h1+h2=(3.464)d×0.5774

h1+h2=2d   .......(ii)

  h2=d
