The correct option is
B R=4√h1h2
Step 1: Expression for maximum height and Range [Refer Fig.].
Let u be the initial velocity of the projectile and θ be the angle of projection.
Maximum height of the projectile:h=u2sin2θ2g;
Range of the projectile: R=u2sin2θg
Step 2: Relation between h1,h2 & R
For equal ranges, the body should be projected with angle θ and 90o−θ from the horizontal.
[R=u2sin2(90o−θ)g=u2sin(180o−2θ)g=u2sin2θg]
∴h1=u2sin2θ2g
h2=u2sin2(90o−θ)2g=u2cos2θ2g
Multiplying h1 and h2
h1h2=u4sin2θcos2θ4g2=116(u2sin2θg)2
⇒ 16h1h2=R2
⇒ R=4√h1h2
Hence, Option B is correct.
