From the top of a tower of height 40m, a ball is projected upward with a speed of `20ms^(-1)` at an angle of elevation of `30^(@)`. Then the ratio of the total time taken by the ball to hit the ground to the time taken to ball come at same level as top of tower.A. `2:1`B. `3:1`C. `3:2`D. `4:1`

Answer» Correct Answer - a
If t is the total time taken, then
`40=-20sin 30^(@)t+1/2xx10xxt^(2)`
or `40=-10t+5t^(2)`
or `5t^(2)-10t-40=0`
or `t^(2)-2t-8=0`
or `t^(2)-4t+2t-8=0`
or `t(t-4)+2(t-4)=0`
or `(t+2)(t-4)=0`
t=4s [Negative time is not allowed]
`T=(2v sin theta)/g=(2xx20sin 30^(@))/10s=2s`
`:. t/T=4/2=2/1`
