  • B
    $1:2$
  • C

$A$ fighter jet is flying horizontally at a certain altitude with a speed of $200 \; m/s$. When it passes directly overhead an anti-aircraft gun,a bullet is fired from the gun at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal to hit the jet. If the bullet speed is $400 \; m/s$,the value of $\theta$ will be $\dots \; ^\circ$.
