Correct answer: D

  1. For a projectile projected with speed uuu at angle θ\thetaθ:

    • Range, R=u2sin⁡2θgR=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta}{g}R=gu2sin2θ​

    • Maximum height, H=u2sin⁡2θ2gH=\frac{u^2\sin^2\theta}{2g}H=2gu2sin2θ​

  2. Given that range and maximum height are equal: R=HR=HR=H

    So, u2sin⁡2θg=u2sin⁡2θ2g\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta}{g}=\frac{u^2\sin^2\theta}{2g}gu2sin2θ​=2gu2sin2θ​

  3. Cancel u2g\frac{u^2}{g}gu2​ from both sides: sin⁡2θ=sin⁡2θ2\sin 2\theta=\frac{\sin^2\theta}{2}sin2θ=2sin2θ​

  4. Use sin⁡2θ=2sin⁡θcos⁡θ\sin 2\theta=2\sin\theta\cos\thetasin2θ=2sinθcosθ: 2sin⁡θcos⁡θ=sin⁡2θ22\sin\theta\cos\theta=\frac{\sin^2\theta}{2}2sinθcosθ=2sin2θ​

  5. Multiply both sides by 222: 4sin⁡θcos⁡θ=sin⁡2θ4\sin\theta\cos\theta=\sin^2\theta4sinθcosθ=sin2θ

  6. For non-zero projection angle, divide by sin⁡θ\sin\thetasinθ: 4cos⁡θ=sin⁡θ4\cos\theta=\sin\theta4cosθ=sinθ

    Hence, tan⁡θ=4\tan\theta=4tanθ=4

  7. Therefore, the correct option is: 4\boxed{4}4​ यानी option D\boxed{D}D​.

  8. Comparison with stored answer:

    Stored correct answer = DDD

    Our derived answer = DDD

    So they agree.
