Correct answer: C

  1. Let the initial speed of projection be uuu.

  2. Kinetic energy at the point of projection

At launch, the speed is uuu, so K1=12mu2K_1 = \frac{1}{2}mu^2K1​=21​mu2

  1. Speed at the highest point

At the highest point of projectile motion, the vertical component of velocity becomes zero, while the horizontal component remains constant.

Given angle of projection =30∘=30^\circ=30∘, ux=ucos⁡30∘=u⋅32u_x = u\cos 30^\circ = u\cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}ux​=ucos30∘=u⋅23​​

So, speed at the highest point is vtop=ucos⁡30∘=32uv_{top} = u\cos 30^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}uvtop​=ucos30∘=23​​u

  1. Kinetic energy at the highest point

K2=12m(32u)2K_2 = \frac{1}{2}m\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}u\right)^2K2​=21​m(23​​u)2 K2=12m⋅3u24K_2 = \frac{1}{2}m\cdot \frac{3u^2}{4}K2​=21​m⋅43u2​ K2=38mu2K_2 = \frac{3}{8}mu^2K2​=83​mu2

  1. Required ratio

K1:K2=12mu2:38mu2K_1 : K_2 = \frac{1}{2}mu^2 : \frac{3}{8}mu^2K1​:K2​=21​mu2:83​mu2

Cancel mu2mu^2mu2: 12:38\frac{1}{2} : \frac{3}{8}21​:83​

Multiply both terms by 888: 4:34 : 34:3

  1. Correct option

4:3\boxed{4:3}4:3​ So, the correct answer is Option C.
