Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: Two identical balls $A$ and $B$ thrown with the same velocity '$u$' at two different angles with the horizontal attain the same range $R$. If $A$ and $B$ reach maximum heights $h_{1}$ and $h_{2}$ respectively,then $R = 4 \sqrt{h_{1} h_{2}}$.
Reason $R$: The product of the said heights is $h_{1} h_{2} = \left(\frac{u^{2} \sin^{2} \theta}{2g}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{u^{2} \cos^{2} \theta}{2g}\right)$.
Choose the $CORRECT$ answer.

  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is $NOT$ the correct explanation of $A$.
  • C
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false.
  • D
    $A$ is false but $R$ is true.
