|____60______________30____';
A BC


Let AC is 60km or meter any thing

so tan30 = h/ 60
=> 1/root3=h/60
=> h=60/root3 -----------------(1)

tan 60 =h/x
=> root3 = h/x
=> h= root3 * x ----------------(2)

compare both

root3 * x = 60/ root3
=> x= 60 /(root3*root3)
=> x= 60/3
=> x= 20

so 60-20= 40

if ship take 20 min to cover 40 so it take 10 min to cover 20 ... (Y)

I hope it is better explaination ,,,.. :)
