Problem

A pole of height 4 m4\,\mathrm{m} is kept in front of a vertical plane mirror of length 2 m2\,\mathrm{m}. The lower end of the mirror is at a height of 6 m6\,\mathrm{m} from the ground. The horizontal distance between the mirror and the pole is 2 m2\,\mathrm{m}. Between what minimum and maximum heights can a man see the image of the top of the pole when he stands 4 m4\,\mathrm{m} from the mirror on the same horizontal line as the pole and the point below the mirror?
