Answer:

Option B.

Explanation:

The given triangle is a right angle triangle.

In a right angle triangle,


\tan \theta=(Perpendicular)/(Base)

In the given triangle,


\tan (30^(\circ))=(n)/(√(3))


(1)/(√(3))=(n)/(√(3))


1=n

Using Pythagoras theorem, we get


hypotenuse^2=Perpendicular^2+Base^2


m^2=n^2+(√(3))^2


m^2=1^2+3


m^2=4

Taking square root on both sides, we get


m=√(4)


m=2

Therefore, the correct option is B.
