Compare time of ascent with time of descent of a projectile fired at 50° with the horizontal.

A

`1:4`

B

`1:1`

C

`5:4`

D

`4:5`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In a projectile,
Time of ascent = time of descent `=(u sin theta)/g`
Hence, they are equal, so their ratio = 1:1
