The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that the horizontal range is the same for the angle of projection \( \theta \) and \( (90^\circ - \theta) \). 2. **Formula for Horizontal Range**: The range \( R \) of a projectile launched with an initial velocity \( u \) at an angle \( \theta \) is given by the formula: \[ R = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g} \] where \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. 3. **Calculating Range for \( \theta \)**: For the angle \( \theta \): \[ R_\theta = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g} \] 4. **Calculating Range for \( (90^\circ - \theta) \)**: For the angle \( (90^\circ - \theta) \): \[ R_{90 - \theta} = \frac{u^2 \sin(2(90^\circ - \theta))}{g} \] Simplifying this, we have: \[ R_{90 - \theta} = \frac{u^2 \sin(180^\circ - 2\theta)}{g} \] Since \( \sin(180^\circ - x) = \sin(x) \), we get: \[ R_{90 - \theta} = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g} \] 5. **Comparing the Two Ranges**: From the calculations above, we see that: \[ R_\theta = R_{90 - \theta} \] This confirms that the assertion is true: the horizontal range is indeed the same for angles \( \theta \) and \( (90^\circ - \theta) \). 6. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason states that the horizontal range is independent of the angle of projection. However, from the derived formula, we see that the range \( R \) depends on \( \theta \) through the term \( \sin(2\theta) \). Therefore, the reason is false. 7. **Conclusion**: The assertion is true, but the reason is false. Thus, the correct answer is that the assertion is true and the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - **Assertion**: True - **Reason**: False
