Correct Answer: $5\sqrt3$


Solution :
Given: DE = 15 and $\angle$DFE = 60°
We know, $\tan\theta$ = $\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}$
⇒ $\tan 60° = \frac{DE}{EF} = \sqrt{3}$
⇒ EF = $\frac{DE}{\sqrt{3}}$
⇒ EF = $\frac{15}{\sqrt{3}}$
$\therefore$ EF = $5\sqrt{3}$
Hence, the correct answer is $5\sqrt{3}$.
