Solution

The correct option is C tan174
As we know that horizontal component of projected velocity remains constant.

So, from question,
Horizontal velocity, ux=40020=20 m/s

And, initial vertical velocity (uy),

sy=uyt+12at2

50=uy(2)12(10)(2)2

uy=702=35 m/s

tanθ=uyux=3520=74

Angle, θ=tan174

Hence, option (B) is correct.
