Solution

The correct option is A 8hsinα
The balls fall from A on to incline and bounces off to B
BB is the normal to the incline at B.
Since it is smooth plane and collision l bouncing is elastic, the ball bounces at the same angle with the normal BB
The velocity remains same
Hence the angle of projection of the ball w.r.t. horizontal=90°2α
Velocity of the ball at B=ν=2gh
Let B=(0,0)
The equation of the trajectory of the ball (parabolic path)
y=xtan(90°2α)gx22ν2sec2(90°2α)
Equations of the inclined plane: y=xtanα
Ball hits the plane at
xtanα=xcot2αgx24ghcsc2(2α)
x=0 or x=(cot2α+tanα)4hsin22α
or c=4h(1tan2α+2tan2α)sin22α2tanα
x=4hsin2α
y=4hsin2αtanα=8hsin22α
Distance=x2+y2=8hsinα
The distance on inclined plane from B (point of first bounce to point of second bounce)=xcosα=8hsinα
