The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the statements provided and understand the physics behind projectile motion. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that when a body is projected at an angle of \(45^\circ\), its range is maximum. - In projectile motion, the range \(R\) is given by the formula: \[ R = \frac{u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g} \] where \(u\) is the initial velocity, \(\theta\) is the angle of projection, and \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity. 2. **Analyzing the Range Formula**: - From the range formula, we see that the range depends on \(\sin 2\theta\). - To maximize the range, we need to maximize \(\sin 2\theta\). 3. **Finding the Maximum Value of \(\sin 2\theta\)**: - The maximum value of \(\sin x\) is 1. Therefore, for maximum range: \[ \sin 2\theta = 1 \] - This occurs when: \[ 2\theta = 90^\circ \quad \text{or} \quad \theta = 45^\circ \] 4. **Conclusion on Assertion**: - Since we have shown that projecting a body at \(45^\circ\) gives the maximum range, the assertion (A) is correct. 5. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that for maximum range, the value of \(\sin 2\theta\) should be equal to one. - We have already established that this is true as it leads to the angle of projection being \(45^\circ\). 6. **Conclusion on Reason**: - The reason (R) is also correct. 7. **Final Conclusion**: - Both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are correct. Thus, the answer is that both A and R are correct. ### Final Answer: Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are correct. ---
