TF is a tower with F on the ground. image $\begin{array}{l}\text{Given}\\ \text{tan}\ x^{\circ}=\frac{2}{5}\\ \text{and AF}=200\ \text{metre}\\ \therefore \frac{2}{5}=\frac{T F}{A F} \\ \Rightarrow T F=\frac{2 \times 200}{5} \\ \Rightarrow T F=80 \mathrm{~m} \\ \text { We have, } \mathrm{BF}=80 \mathrm{~m} \\ \therefore \tan y^{\circ}=\frac{T F}{B F} \\ \Rightarrow \tan y^{\circ}=\frac{80}{80} \\ \Rightarrow \tan y^{\circ}=1=\tan 45^{\circ} \\ \therefore y^{\circ}=45^{\circ} \end{array}$
