A particle is projected with an angle of projection θ to the horizontal line passing through the points (P, Q) and (Q, P) referred to horizontal and vertical axes (can be treated as X-axis and Y-axis, respectively).
The angle of projection can be given by                                          [AIIMS 2015]

a
tan-1P2+PQ+Q2PQ
b
tan-1P2+Q2-PQPQ
c
tan-1P2+Q22PQ
d
sin-1P2+Q2+PQ2PQ

detailed solution

Correct option is A

The equation of trajectory,y=xtanα1-xRQ=Ptanθ1-PRand  P=Qtanθ1-QROn dividing Eq. (i) by Eq. (ii), we getQ2P2=[1-P/R][1-Q/R]1RP3-Q3=P2-Q2⇒  R=P3-Q3P2-Q2=P2+PQ+Q2P+QNow,  QP=tanθ1-P(P+Q)P2+PQ+Q2=tanθP2+PQ+Q2-P2-PQP2+PQ+Q2⇒  tanθ=P2+Q2+PQPQ⇒  θ=tan-1P2+PQ+Q2PQ
