Solution

The correct options are
A Radius of curvature at firing point is 50 m.
C As projectile moves its radius of curvature first decreases and then it increases.

By relation ac=v2RcRc=v2ac
When the body is at A,
Rc=u2g cosθ=20×2010×45=50 m
When the body is at B,
Rc=v2g=(20 cos 37)210=25.6 m
As the body travels from A to B,
Rc=v2ac, v decreases due to loss of KE and ac increases from gcosθ to g. Therefore, the value of Rc should continuously decrease. However, as it moves from B to C, Rc will increase continuously.
