    The speed of a projectile u reduces by 50 % on reaching maximum height. The range on the horizontal plane is

    A)  \[\frac{2{{u}^{2}}}{3g}\]                              

    B)  \[\frac{{{u}^{2}}}{g}\]

    C)  \[\frac{\sqrt{3}\,{{u}^{2}}}{2g}\]                             

    D)  \[\frac{3{{u}^{2}}}{g}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    At maximum height, we have \[u\cos \theta =\frac{u}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\cos \theta =\frac{1}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]                     \[\theta =60{}^\circ \] So,                \[R=\frac{{{u}^{2}}\sin (2\times 60{}^\circ )}{g}\]           \[=\frac{\sqrt{3}\,{{u}^{2}}}{2g}\]
