The angle of projection at which the horizontal range and maximum height of projectile are equal is

A

${45^o}$

B

$\theta = {\tan ^{ - 1}}(0.25)$

C

$\theta = {\tan ^{ - 1}}(4)$ or $\theta = 76^\circ $

D

${60^o}$

The angle of projection at which the horizontal range and maximum height of projectile are equal is

$R = 4H\cot \theta .$

When $R = H$ then $\cot \theta = 1/4$

$ \Rightarrow \theta = {\tan ^{ - 1}}(4)$
