The angle of projection for a projectile to have same horizontal range and maximum height is:
Answer: (A) $\tan^{-1}(4)$
$$\frac{u^2\sin2\theta}{g} = \frac{u^2\sin^2\theta}{2g} \;\Rightarrow\; 2\sin\theta\cos\theta = \frac{\sin^2\theta}{2} \;\Rightarrow\; \tan\theta = 4$$
So $\theta = \tan^{-1}(4)$.
