    R is the range on a horizontal plane for a shot with the same velocity at two different angles of projection. If h and h be the greatest heights attained corresponding to the angles of projection, then \[{{R}^{2}}\]will be

    A)  4 hh                     

    B)  8 hh

    C)  2 hh                     

    D)  16 hh

    E)  24 hh

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    The range is given by \[R=\frac{{{u}^{2}}\sin 2\theta }{g}\]                      ?(i) Also we know that for pair of angles \[\theta \]\[90-\theta ,\] and the range will remain same. Now, heights attained by projectiles \[h=\frac{{{u}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{g}\] and        \[h=\frac{{{u}^{2}}\sin \,(90-\theta )}{2g}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[hh=\frac{{{u}^{4}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta \,{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }{4{{g}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[hh=\frac{{{u}^{2}}2\sin \theta \cos \theta }{16{{g}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[hh={{\left( \frac{4\sin 2\theta }{g} \right)}^{2}}\times \frac{1}{16}\]    ?(ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii) we get \[16\,hh={{R}^{2}}\]
