Solution

The correct option is A 1:1

Step 1: Range of Projectile [Refer Fig.]
Let u be the initial velocity of the projectile.
Range of a projectile is given by:
R=u2sin2θg

Step 2: Ratio of R1 & R2
At θ1=45oθ, R=R1

R1=u2sin2(45oθ)g=u2sin(90o2θ)g

At θ2=45o+θR=R2

R2=u2sin2(45o+θ)g=u2sin(90o+2θ)g

The ratio of R1 and R2 is given by

R1R2=sin(90o2θ)sin(90o+2θ)=cos2θcos2θ=1

Hence the ratio of the range of the projectile is 1:1. Option A is correct.
