Option 1: $\frac{40}{\sqrt{3}}$ metres
Option 2: $\frac{80}{\sqrt{3}}$ metres
Option 3: $80$ metres
Option 4: $40\sqrt{3}$ metres

Correct Answer: $40\sqrt{3}$ metres
Solution : AB = Length of thread = 80 metres BC = The vertical height of the kite ∠BAC = 60° In $\triangle$ABC, $\sin 60° = \frac{BC}{AB}$ ⇒ $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{BC}{80}$ $\therefore BC = 40\sqrt{3}$ metres So, the vertical height of the kite is $40\sqrt{3}$ metres. Hence, the correct answer is $40\sqrt{3}$ metres.
