It was calculated that a shell when fired from a gun with a certain velocity and at an angle of elevation `5pi//36` radius should strike a given target. In actual practice it was found that a hill just intervened in the trajectory. At what angle of elevation should the gun be fired to hit the target ?

A

`(5pi)/36rad`

B

`(11pi)/36rad`

C

`(7pi)/36 rad`

D

`(13pi)/36rad`
