Projectiles A and B are thrown at angles of 45 and 60 with vertical respectively from top of a 400 m high tower. If their ranges and times of flight are same, the ratio of their speeds of projection vA:vB is : [Take g=10 m s-2]
- 1:2
- 2:1
- 1: 2
- 1: 3

Solution
Same height and same time of flight: -400=uyt- 12gt2 ⇒ same vertical component
vA 45 =vB 60 (angles measured from the vertical)
Same range in the same time ⇒ same horizontal component
vA 45 =vB 60
Dividing: 45 = 60 , which is impossible
Both conditions cannot hold together; no option is correct ⇒ question dropped
