Three balls,$A, B$ and $C$ are released and all reach the point $X$ (shown in the figure). Balls $A$ and $B$ are released from two identical structures,one kept on the ground and the other at height $h$ from the ground as shown in the figure. They take time $t_A$ and $t_B$ respectively to reach $X$ (time starts after they leave the end of the horizontal portion of the structure). The ball $C$ is released from a point at height $h$,vertically above $X$ and reaches $X$ in time $t_C$. Choose the correct option.

$A$ cannon placed on a cliff at a height of $375 \ m$ fires a cannonball with a velocity of $100 \ ms^{-1}$ at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ above the horizontal. The horizontal distance between the cannon and the target is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ ms^{-2}$)

$A$ body is projected from the top of a tower with a velocity $\overrightarrow{u} = 3 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k} \text{ m/s}$, where $\hat{i}, \hat{j},$ and $\hat{k}$ are unit vectors along east, north, and vertically upwards, respectively. If the height of the tower is $30 \text{ m}$, find the horizontal range of the body on the ground. (Take $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$) (in $\text{ m}$)

$A$ bomber plane moves horizontally with a speed of $500 \ m/s$ and a bomb released from it strikes the ground in $10 \ s$. The angle with the horizontal at which it strikes the ground will be $(g = 10 \ m/s^2)$.

$A$ ball is thrown upward from the top of a building at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ to the horizontal and with an initial speed of $20 \,m/s$. If the ball strikes the ground after $3 \,s$, then the height of the building is (acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,m$)
