A boy can throw a stone up to a maximum height of `10 m`. The maximum horizontal distance that the boy can throw the same stone up to will be :

A

`20sqrt(2) m`

B

`10m`

C

`10 sqrt(2) m`

D

`20m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`H_(max) = (u^(2))/(2 g) rArr 10 = (u^(2))/(2 g) rArr (u^(2))/(g) = 20`
`R_(max) = (u^(2))/(2 g) = 20 m`
