Answer

Let AB be the height of first building and CD be the height of second building.
The distance between the buildings (BD) = 60 m.
CE is the difference in height between the two buildings.
In triangle AEC,
Height of first building,
AB = CD - CE
= 150 - 34.64
= 115.36 m.
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
