with Problems & Solutions for JEE Main and Advanced is meant for aspirants preparing for the entrance examination of different technical institutions, especially NIT/IIT/BITSAT/IISc In writing this book I have drawn heavily from my long teaching experience at National Level Institutes After many years of teaching I have realised the need of designing a book that will help the readers to build their base, improve their level of mathematical concepts and enjoy the subject This book is designed keeping in view the new pattern of questions asked in JEE Main and Advanced Exams It has eight chapters Each chapter has a large number of worked out problems and exercise based problems as given below: Level – I: Questions based on Fundamentals Level – II: Mixed Problems (Objective Type Questions) Level – III: Problems for JEE Advanced Exam (0 .9): Integer type Questions Passages: Comprehensive link passages Matching: Match Matrix Reasoning: Assertion and Reasoning Previous years papers: Questions asked in past IIT-JEE Exams become easy So please don’t jump to exercise problems before you go through the Concept Booster and the objectives Once you are arranged in a manner that they gradually require advanced thinking tackle any type of problem easily and skilfully My special thanks goes to Mr M.P Singh (IISc Bangalore), Mr Manoj Kumar (IIT, Delhi), Mr Nazre Hussain (B Tech.), Dr Syed Kashan Ali (MBBS) and Mr Shahid Iqbal, who have helped, inspired and motivated me to accomplish this task As a matter of fact, teaching being the best learning process, I must thank all my students who inspired me most for writing this book I would like to convey my affectionate thanks to my wife, who helped me immensely and my children who bore with patience my neglect during the period I remained devoted to this book I also convey my sincere thanks to Mr Biswajit of McGraw Hill Education for publishing this book in such a beautiful format and to all my learned teachers— Mr Swapan Halder, Mr Jadunandan Mishra, Mr Mahadev Roy and Mr Dilip Bhattacharya, who instilled the value of quality teaching in me I have tried my best to keep this book error-free I shall be grateful to the readers for their constructive suggestions toward the improvement of the book REJAUL MAKSHUD M Sc (Calcutta University, Kolkata) Dedicated to My Beloved Mom and Dad Contents Preface

8.2 ANGLE OF ELEVATION, ANGLE OF DEPRESSION AND THE LINE OF SIGHT The bearing of a horizontal line, i.e a line in a horizontal plane is the positive acute angle made by this line with the north - south line in the same horizontal plane If a line is said to bear 20∞ west of north, we mean that it is inclined to the north direction at angle of 20∞, this angle is measured from the north towards the west N D 15° 40° P f eo ht sig W Lin Angle of elevation O A Let the point O is the observer and the point P is the object under observation The line OP is called the line of sight of the point P
