The correct answer is:
\( 22.5 \mathrm{~m} \)
Given, speed \( =30 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1} \), angle of projection \( =45^{\circ} ; g=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2} \)
Maximum height reached by the stone is
\[
\begin{array}{l}
H=\frac{v^{2} \sin ^{2} \theta}{2 g}=\frac{(30)^{2}(\sin 45)^{2}}{2 \times 10}=\frac{900 \times \frac{1}{2}}{2 \times 10}=\frac{900 \times 1}{2 \times 2 \times 10} \\
\Rightarrow H=\frac{90}{4}=22.5
\end{array}
\]
Therefore, maximum height reached by stone is \( 22.5 \mathrm{~m} \).
