Solution

The correct option is C 30 m
$H e r e u = 21 m / s e c, α = 30^{\circ}, θ = β - α = 60^{\circ} - 30^{\circ} = 30^{\circ} R a n g e R = \frac{2 u^{2}}{g} \frac{s i n θ cos (θ + α)}{{cos}^{2} α} = \frac{2 \times (21)^{2} \times sin 30^{\circ} cos 60^{\circ}}{9.8 \times {cos}^{2} 30^{\circ}} = 30 m$
