Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Range = \(\frac{U^2sin2\theta}{g}\)
RangeQ = \(\frac{U^2sin150}{g}\)
RangeR = \(\frac{U^2sin30}{g}\)
Since, sin30o = sin150o
therefore, RQ = RR
Range = \(\frac{U^2sin2\theta}{g}\)
RangeQ = \(\frac{U^2sin150}{g}\)
RangeR = \(\frac{U^2sin30}{g}\)
Since, sin30o = sin150o
therefore, RQ = RR
