a
Hit the monkey
b
Go above the monkey
c
Go below the monkey
d
Hit the monkey if the initial velocity of the bullet is more than a definite velocity

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Because of gravity the bullet has an acceleration g  vertically downwards, so in time t  the bullet will reach a heighty=xtanθ−12gt2=H−12gt2=H−hThe monkey will freely in time t  ash=M0M1=H−y=12gt2∴  Bullet and monkey both will always be at M1  after same time what ever may be velocity of bullet. Thus, bullet will always hit the monkey.
