    To cover a population of 20 lakh, a transmission tower should have a height ..... (Radius of earth = 6400 km, population per square km = 1000):

    A)  25 m                    

    B)         50 m

    C)  75 m                    

    D)         100 m

    E)  39 m

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Area of region covered \[=\pi (2nR)\] In\[1\text{ }k{{m}^{2}}=1000\] people \[\frac{1}{1000}\times 20\times {{10}^{6}}=20\times {{10}^{6}}=A\] \[\therefore \]  \[20\times {{10}^{3}}=\pi (2\times h\times 6400)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[h=\frac{20\times {{10}^{3}}}{\pi \times 2\times 6400}\approx 50m\]
