For angles of projection of projectile at angle $\left(45^{\circ}-\theta\right)$ and $\left(45^{\circ}+\theta\right)$, the horizontal range described by the projectile are in the ratio of:
  1. $2: 1$
  2. $1: 1$
  3. 2:3
  4. $1: 2$

Solution

Horizontal range $=R=\frac{u^2 \sin ^2 \theta}{g}$ When angle of projection is $\left(45^{\circ}-\theta\right)$ then $\begin{aligned} R_1 & =\frac{u^2 \sin 2\left(45^{\circ}-\theta\right)}{g} \\ & =\frac{u^2 \sin \left(90^{\circ}-\theta\right)}{g} \\ & =\frac{u^2 \cos 2 \theta}{g} \end{aligned}$ Now $\quad \frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{u^2 \cos \frac{2 \theta}{8}}{u^2 \cos \frac{2 \theta}{g}}=1: 1$
