    The resolution limit of the eye is 1 min. At a distance\[x\]km from the eye, two persons stand with a lateral separation of 3m. For the two persons to be just resolved by the naked eye,\[x\] should be

    A)  10 km         

    B)  15 km

    C)  20 km         

    D)  30 km

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     \[\theta =\frac{l}{r},\theta =1\min .\] So, \[\theta =\frac{1}{60{}^\circ }=\frac{\pi }{180}\times \frac{1}{60}rad\] and  \[l=3m\] \[\therefore \] \[x=r=\frac{l}{\theta }\] \[=\frac{3}{\frac{\pi }{180}\times \frac{1}{60}}=10\,km\]
