UPSC 1997: Which one of the following is a valid conclusion?
(a)The larger the initial inclination, the longer the throw
(b)The larger the height reached, the longer the throw
(c)The larger the height reached, the shorter the throw
(d)The larger the initial inclination, the greater the height reached
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) The larger the height reached, the shorter the throw
With identical initial speeds, a projectile thrown at a higher angle rises to a greater height but spends more time in the vertical direction, reducing its horizontal range; thus the larger the height reached, the shorter the throw. Options (a), (b) and (d) incorrectly relate range and height or inclination. ([scribd.com](https://www.scribd.com/document/829987263/1997-Solved-PYQ-CSE))
