NEET Physics Maximum Height MCQ Question with Solution

The maximum horizontal range of a projectile is 400 m. The maximum value of height attained by it will be

A

100 m

B

200 m

C

400 m

D

800 m

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The maximum range $R = \frac{v^2 \sin 2\theta}{g}$ is 400 m. The maximum height $H = \frac{v^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g}$ is half of the range when $\theta = 45^\circ$ , giving 200 m.
