Three projectiles A, B and C are projected at an angle of 30°, 45°, 60° respectively. If RA, RB and RC are ranges of A, B and C respectively, then (velocity of projection is same for A, B and C)
(1) RA = RC > RB
(2) RA = RC < RB
(3) RA = RB = RC
(4) RA < RB < RC
Correct option (2) RA = RC < RB
Explanation:
Range is maximum for 45°
∴ B has maximum range
Range is same for both 30° and 60° as they are complementary angles.
∴ RA = RC < RB
