Question 227 of 308

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion AA and the other is labelled as Reason R.R.
Assertion A: When a body is projected at an angle
45∘,45^{\circ}, its range is maximum.
Reason R: For maximum range, the value of sin
2θ2\theta should be equal to one.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (C) Both AA and RR are correct and RR is the correct explanation of AA

Horizontal range of a projectile from a horizontal plane is given by, R=u2sin⁡2θgR=\dfrac{{u}^{2}\sin 2\theta }{g}.
Clearly for maximum range,
sin⁡2θ=1\sin 2\theta =1.
Therefore,
θ=45∘\theta =45^{\circ}.
