Solution

The correct option is B y=2x5x2
Given: Initial velocity, v=(^i+2^j) m/s

Magnitude of initial velocity, u=12+22=5 m/s

Equation of trajectory of projectile, y=x tanθgx22u2cos2θ

or
y=xtanθgx22u2(1+tan2θ)

here, tanθ=vyvx=21=2

so,
y=x×210x22×5(1+22)

y=2x10x210(5)

y=2x5x2

Hence, option (B) is the correct option.
