Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{2} \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(d\) be the distance of target. The horizontal range of projectile is \(R=\frac{u^2 \sin 2 \theta}{g}\) When \(\theta=15^{\circ}\), \(R_1=\frac{u^2 \sin \left(2 \times 15^{\circ}\right)}{g}=\frac{u^2}{2 g}\) When \(\theta=45^{\circ}\),…
