Solution

The correct option is D R=4H1H2
Calculate H1 and H2.
The maximum height is given by,
H=u2sin2Θ2g
When stone is projected at an angle Θ with velocity u, then height traversed by it
H1=u2sin2Θ2g (i)
And, when stone is projected at an angle (π2Θ) with an velocity u, then height traversed by it
H2=u2sin2(90Θ)2gH2=u2cos2Θ2g (ii)


Find the realtion between the horizontal range of the R of the projectile H1 and H2.

Multiplying equation (i) an (ii)
H1H2=u2sin2Θ2g×u2cos2Θ2g=44×u2sin2Θ2g×u2cos2Θ2g=(u2sin2θ)216g2
[sin2θ=2sinθcosθ]H1H2=R216 (iii)
From equations (iii)
R2=16H1H2
Hence,
R=4H1H2
