    Two bodies are projected from the same point with the same velocity but in different directions. If the range in each case be R and times of flight be \[{{t}_{1}}\]and \[{{t}_{2}},\]then R is equal to:

    A) \[\frac{1}{2}g\,{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}\]      

    B)         \[g\,{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}\]       

    C)         \[\frac{1}{4}g\,{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}\]     

    D)         \[2g\,{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    We know that for a given range R there are two Directions of projection, \[viz\,\alpha \]and \[\frac{\pi }{2}-\alpha .\]Thus  If \[u\] is the velocity of projection, then \[R=\frac{{{u}^{2}}\sin 2\alpha }{g},{{t}_{1}}=\frac{2u}{g}\sin \alpha \] and         \[{{t}_{2}}=\frac{2u\sin \left( \frac{\pi }{2}-\alpha  \right)}{g}=\frac{2u\cos \alpha }{g}\] \[\therefore \]      \[{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}=\frac{4{{u}^{2}}\sin \alpha \cos \alpha }{{{g}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]    \[{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}=\frac{2{{u}^{2}}\sin 2\alpha }{g}\] \[\Rightarrow \]    \[\frac{1}{2}g\,{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}=\frac{{{u}^{2}}\sin 2\alpha }{g}\] \[\Rightarrow \]    \[\frac{1}{2}g\,{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}=R\]
