Solution
The correct option is AR We know that projectile has the same range for two complementary angles (θ) and (90∘−θ).
So the times of flight for these angles will be,
T1=2usinθg&T2=2usin(90∘−θ)g=2ucosθg
Then, T1T2=4u2sinθcosθg=2R
(∵R=u2sin2θg)
Thus, it is proportional to R i.e. horizontal range.
