    A projectile can have the same range R for two angles of projection. If \[{{t}_{1}}\] and \[{{t}_{2}}\] be the times of flight in two cases, then what is the product of two times of flight?        

    A) \[{{\text{t}}_{\text{1}}}{{\text{t}}_{\text{2}}}\propto \text{R}\]      

    B)        \[{{\text{t}}_{\text{1}}}{{\text{t}}_{\text{2}}}\propto {{\text{R}}^{2}}\]

    C) \[{{\text{t}}_{\text{1}}}{{\text{t}}_{\text{2}}}\propto 1/\text{R}\]       

    D)        \[{{\text{t}}_{\text{1}}}{{\text{t}}_{\text{2}}}\propto 1/{{\text{R}}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

      [a] \[{{\text{t}}_{1}}=\frac{2\,u\,\,\sin \theta }{\text{g}}\text{ and}\] \[{{\text{t}}_{2}}=\frac{2\,u\,\,\sin \left( 90-\theta  \right)}{\text{g}}\text{ =}\frac{2\,u\,\,\cos \theta }{\text{g}}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,{{\text{t}}_{1}}{{\text{t}}_{2}}=\frac{4\,{{\text{u}}^{2}}cos\theta \,\,\sin \theta }{{{\text{g}}^{2}}}=\frac{2}{\text{g}}\left[ \frac{{{\text{u}}^{2}}\sin 2\theta }{\text{g}} \right]\]\[=\frac{2}{\text{g}}\text{R,}\] Where R is the range. Hence \[{{\text{t}}_{1}}{{\text{t}}_{2}}\propto \text{R}\]
