An artillary piece which consistently shoots its shells with the same muzzle speed has a maximum range R. To hit a target which is R/2 from the gun and on the same level, the elevation angle of the gun should be:

a
15°
b
45°
c
30°
d
60°

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Here R=u2g Let elevation angle be θ, thenR2=u2sin2θg⇒sin2θ=12⇒2θ=30°⇒θ=15°
