Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(24\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \text { Range }=3 \mathrm{H}_{\max } \\ & \frac{\mathrm{u}^2 \sin 2 \theta}{\mathrm{~g}}=\frac{3 \mathrm{u}^2 \sin ^2 \theta}{2 \mathrm{~g}}\end{aligned}\)
\(2 \sin \theta \cos \theta=\frac{3}{2} \sin ^2 \theta\)
\(\tan \theta=\frac{4}{3} \Rightarrow \theta=53^{\circ}\)
\(\mathrm{R}=\frac{\mathrm{u}^2\left(2 \times \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{4}{5}\right)}{\mathrm{g}} \Rightarrow \frac{24 \mathrm{u}^2}{25 \mathrm{~g}}\)
