Correct option is

Suppose the angle made by the instantaneous velocity with the horizontal be α.thentanα=vyvx=usinθ-gtucosθ  Given that α=45°, when t=1 s;α=0°, when t=2 s.   This gives ucosθ=usinθ-g  and   usinθ-2 g=0  Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we find usinθ=2g and ucosθ=g. Squaring and adding,  u=5 g=105 ms-1

Assertion : When the velocity of projection of a body is made n times, its time of flight becomes n times.

Reason : Range of projectile does not depend on the initial velocity of a body.
