    The maximum height reached by a projectile is 4 m. The horizontal range is 12 m. Velocity of projection in ms-1, is : ( g = acceleration due to gravity)

    A)                  \[5\sqrt{\frac{g}{2}}\]                                  

    B)                  \[5\frac{g}{\sqrt{2}}\]

    C)                  \[\frac{1}{3}\frac{g}{\sqrt{2}}\]                               

    D)                  \[\frac{1}{5}\sqrt{\frac{g}{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Given: Height of projectile H = 4m                 Horizontal range R = 12 m                 Height of projectile is                 \[H=\frac{{{u}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{2g}\]                                       ?(i)                 Pange of projectile  is                 \[R=\frac{{{u}^{2}}\sin 2\theta }{g}\]                                                      ?(ii)                 Dividing equation (i) by (ii), also putting given value, we get                 \[=\frac{H}{R}=\frac{{{u}^{2}}\sin \theta }{2g}/\frac{{{u}^{2}}\sin 2\theta }{g}\]                 \[=\frac{{{u}^{2}}\sin \theta }{2g}\times \frac{g}{{{u}^{2}}2\sin \theta \cos \theta }\]                 \[\frac{4}{12}=\frac{\tan \theta }{4}\]or \[\tan \theta =\frac{4\times 4}{12}=\frac{4}{3}\]                 So,          \[\sin \theta =\frac{4}{5}\]                 Now, putting \[H=4\,m\]and \[\sin \theta =\frac{4}{5}s\]in Eq.                 (i) we get                 \[H=\frac{{{u}^{2}}\times \frac{16}{5}}{2g}\]or \[4=\frac{{{u}^{2}}\times 16/25}{2g}\]                 \[{{u}^{2}}=4\times 2g\times \frac{25}{16}\]                 Hence,                  \[u=5\sqrt{\frac{g}{2}}m/s\]
