The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

$V=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2\times10\times0.75}=\sqrt{15}$ Horizontal range $= V \sqrt{\frac{2H}{9}}=\sqrt{15}\sqrt{\frac{2\times0.25}{10}}=\sqrt{\frac{15}{20}}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{4}}$ $=\frac{1.732}{2}=$ 0.866m

Bernauli Theorem

In fluid dynamics, Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy. The principle is named after Daniel Bernoulli who published it in his book Hydrodynamica in 1738.
