At $7\ a.m$. the angle between the Sun's ray and the ground at a point is $43^\circ $ What would be the angle at $10\ a.m.$?
  • A
    $40^\circ $
  • B
    $90^\circ $
  • Between $43^\circ $ and $90^\circ $
  • D
    Greater than $90^\circ $
Answer
Correct option: C.
Between $43^\circ $ and $90^\circ $
Let QP be the sun's ray and RP be the ground.

The angle between $QP$ and $PR$ at $P$ is $43^\circ $ at $7\ a.m.$ At $10\ a.m$., the sun's ray is $Q'P$.
We know that at $12$ noon the sun is exactly above our head.
So, the sun's ray will be perpendicular to the ground.
So, clearly at $10\ am$, the required angle will be between $43^\circ $ and $90^\circ $.
