For a given velocity, a projectile has the same range of \(R\) for two angles of projection. If \(t_1\) and \(t_2\) are the times of flight in the two cases then:
1. \(t_1t_2 \propto R^2\)

2. \(t_1t_2 \propto R\)

3. \(t_1t_2 \propto \dfrac{1}{R}\)

4. \(t_1t_2 \propto \dfrac{1}{R^2}\)

A ball is thrown from a point with a speed \(v_0\) at an angle of projection \(θ\). From the same point and at the same instant, a person starts running with a constant speed \(v_0/2\) to catch the ball. Will the person be able to catch the ball? If yes, what should be the angle of projection?

1. Yes, \(60^°\)

2. Yes, \(30^°\)

3. No

4. Yes, \(45^°\)
