Detailed Solution
Component of velocity of aeroplane in vertical and horizontal directions are shown in the figure.For the shell to fall along a straight line with respect to the observer on the ground , horizontal component of velocity of shell with respect to ground must be zero.For this shell must be fired horizontal opposite direction with speed of aeroplane in horizontalvB=303m/shorizontally opposite to motion of plane.
