Let the height of the cliff be h metres
 and the height of the pillar is x metres.
 
Then, in △BDC,
tan54 
∘
 20 
′
 = 
BC
BD
​
 
 
⇒tan54 
∘
 20 
′
 = 
300
h
​
 
 
⇒1.37= 
300
h
​
 
 
⇒h=411 m
 
 
 
Now in △ABC,
 
tan55 
0
 40 
′
 = 
300
x+h
​
 
 
⇒1.42= 
300
x+411
​
 
 
⇒426=x+411
 
⇒x=15
 
Height of pillar =15 m
