Solution

The correct option is B 43 m
The given equation of trajectory of projectile is y=(x3gx220)........(i)
We know that the equation of trajectory is
y=xtanθgx22u2cos2θ...........(ii)

Comparing eq (i) & (ii) we get
tanθ=13 θ=30
Also, 2u2cos2θ=20
u2=202cos230=403 m2/s2
As we know that the maximum range of the projectile is given by
Rmax=u2g=40/310=43 m
