JEE Main 2026 — 4 April, Morning Shift — Question 6

Two projectiles are projected with the same initial velocities at 15° and 30° with respect to the horizontal. The ratio of their ranges is 1 : x. The value of x is

  1. Option A:

    2\sqrt{2}

  2. Option B:

    3\sqrt{3}

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    232\sqrt{3}

  4. Option D:

    12\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

R ∝ sin2θ ⇒ R₁/R₂ = sin30°/sin60° = (1/2)/(√3/2) = 1/√3 ⇒ x = √3
