Two stations 'P' and 'Q' were taken on southern side bank of a river flowing west to east pt. 'P' is wastewords of pt 'Q' at 75 m apart. The bearings of a tree 'R' on the northern side of the bank is observed to be equal to 38° and 338° respectively from 'P' and 'Q' . Calculate the width of the river.
