Answer: Option 3

Consider the diagram shown above where QR represents the tree and PQ represents its shadow $$\eqalign{ & {\text{We}}\,{\text{have}},\,QR = PQ \cr & {\text{Let}}\,\angle QPR = \theta \cr} $$ $$\tan \theta = \frac{{QR}}{{PQ}} = 1$$     (since QR = PQ) $$ \Rightarrow \theta = {45^ \circ }$$ i.e., required angle of elevation = 45°
