  1. For angles of projection of a projectile (45° – θ) and (45° + θ), the horizontal ranges described by the projectile are in the ratio of​
    1. 1 : 3
    2. 1 : 2
    3. 2 : 1
    4. 1 : 1
Correct Option: D

​(45° – θ) & (45° + θ) are complementary angles as 45° – θ + 45° + θ = 90° . We know that if angle of projection of two projectiles make complementary angles, their ranges are equal. In this case also, the range will be same. So the ratio is 1 : 1.
