Solution

The correct option is B tan1(2)
Let u be the initial velocity of the projectile and suppose it makes an angle α with the horizontal.
Let v be the velocity of the projectile when it makes an angle of 45 with the horizontal.
Vertical component of velocity at this point is given by
vy=uyg(1)......(i)
(by first equation of motion)
Horizontal component of velocity at this point is given by
vx=ux (Acceleration is zero along horizontal component) ......(ii)
Dividing (i) from (ii), we get
vyvx=tan 45=uygux...(iii)
Let T be the time of flight of the projectile
According to question.
T2=2 s
(Particle reaches maximum height in 2 s)
2u sin αg=4
u sin α=uy=2g...(iv)
Put (iv) in (iii), we get
1=2ggu cos α
u cos α=g......(v)
Dividing (iv) from (v), we get
tan α=2
α=tan12
Hence, the correct answer is option (b)
