Let height of air craft = h = 1500√3 and ground distance= d
Then we have tan 60 = h/d
                             √3 = 1500√3/d
                         ⇒  d =1500
The ground distance is  1500m
Let the  ground distance after 15 second is d1
  We have tan 30 =1500 √3/d1
              ⇒  1/√3 = 1500√3/d1
             ⇒     d1 = 4500
The ground distance is 4500m
The plane has traveled d1-d = 4500-1500=3000 m
Plane has traveled  3000 m  in 15 sec.
Hence the speed = distance/time
                           = 3000/15
                           = 200 m/s   or  200*3600/1000 =720 km/h
Speed of Jet plane is 720 km/h
