6. There is a signaling tower on the top of a hill. In order to determine the elevation of the tower top Q. observations were made from two stations P and R. Points P, Q and R lie in the same plane. If angles of elevation of the top point Q from P and R are respectively 24° 30' and 14° 37'. Determine the elevation of foot of tower of signal tower height is 4 m. The staff readings on BM of RL 100 m are 2.085 m and 3.455 m respectively from instrument located at P and R. Distance between P and R is 125 m.
