A large number of bullets are fired in all directions with same speed v. What is the maximum area on the ground on which these bullets will spread

(a) π v2/g

(b) π v4/g2

(c)  π2 v4/g2

(d) π2 v2/g2

The maximum range of a projectile projected with speed v  is

R = v^2/g

It should be the radius of the maximum area covered.

Hence maximum area = πR^2=πv^4/g^2

Hence option (b) accepted
