Answer :
The height of the mountain is [tex]3.34Km[/tex]
Right angle triangle:
A diagram of right angle triangle PBA is attached below which describe the situation as given in the question.
Let us consider that H represent the height of mountain.
Angle of elevation at point A and C shown in the diagram.
Apply tan function in triangle CBP.
[tex]tan(35)=\frac{H}{x} \\\\H=xtan(35)=0.7x.........(1)[/tex]
Apply tan function in triangle ABP.
[tex]tan(30)=\frac{H}{x+1}\\ \\(x+1)tan(30)=H\\\\(x+1)=\sqrt{3}H\\ \\x=\sqrt{3}H-1........(2)[/tex]
Substituting the value of equation 2 into equation 1.
[tex]H=0.7(\sqrt{3}H-1)\\\\H=1.21H-0.7\\\\0.21H=0.7\\\\H=0.7/0.21=3.34Km[/tex]
Hence, The height of the mountain is [tex]3.34Km[/tex]
