Solution

The correct option is B

R


The range of a projectile is given by R=2v20 cos θ sin θg.
Now, the range at complementary angles θ and 90θ is equal. The times of flight coresponding to these two angles are
t1=2v0 sin θg........(1)
and t2=2v0 sin(90θ)g=2v0 cos θg........(2)
From equations (1) and (2), t1t2=4v20 sin θ cos θg2=2Rg
Thus, t1t2R and the correct choice is (b).
