Respected Sir, 

I have a query regarding this question. I have done my calculations and think that even the worker L standing at 90feet from the foot of the tower, will be hit. 

Kindly see the attached solution.

Thank you
Vibhav

The solution provided is based on the assumption that the bullet after hitting M at x=82 doesn't cross it. 
But if you don't take any such assumption (since it is not given in the question) and go purely by math or take your own assumption that the bullet can cross multiple target then the bullet will hit L at its base. In such scenario both M & L is hit by bullet i.e. only K and N are safe. Many of us have solved the question and answered option (c) based on it. So requesting if marks can be granted also to the ones who have chosen option (c) as answer.
