A rifle shoots a bullet with a muzzle velocity of 400 m/sec at a small target 400 metre away. The height above the target at which the bullet must be aimed to hit the target is: (Take g =10ms-2)

a
1 metre
b
5 metre
c
10 metre
d
0.5 metre

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Time taken by bullet to reach the target= distance  velocity = distance ucos⁡θAs θ is very small, cos θ = 1 Time = distance u=400400=1secVertical deflection of bullet=12gt2=12×10×(1)2=5 metre
