JEE MainPhysicsToughProjectile Motion

Two seconds after projection, a projectile is travelling in a
direction inclined at 30º to the horizontal after one more second, it is

travelling horizontally. Then the speed of projection(u) and angle of

projection (
θ\theta) are given by

Show answer and solution
T=6sec=2usinθg⇒usinθ=30T = 6sec = \frac{2usin\theta}{g} \Rightarrow usin\theta = 30
tan⁡30∘=usinθ−gtucosθ=30−20ucosθ\tan 30^{\circ} = \frac{{usin}\theta - gt}{{ucos}\theta} = \frac{30 - 20}{{ucos}\theta}which
gives
ucosθ=103ucos\theta = 10\sqrt{3}
$$tan\theta =
