Solution

The correct option is B 4v25g
Find the value of sinθ & cosθ from the given relation.
Given: R=2H (i)
As we know,
R=4Hcotθ (ii)
putting (i) in (ii) equation we get,
cotθ=12
Hence, tanθ=2
From traingle



sinθ=25, cosθ=15

Find the range (R) of projectile.

Now, the range of projectile is,
R=v2sin2θgR=2v2sinθcosθg
By putting the values, we get,
R=2v2g×25×15R=4v25g

Hence, option (A) is the right choice.
