(b.) Let θ  be the angle of inclination of plane to horizontal and u be the velocity of projection of the projectile 
\begin{array}{l}{\therefore \quad R_{1}=\frac{u^{2}}{g(1+\sin \theta)}, R_{2}=\frac{u^{2}}{g(1-\sin \theta)}} \\ {\therefore \quad \frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}=\frac{2 g}{u^{2}}=\frac{2}{R}} \\ {\Rightarrow \quad R_{1}, R_{1}, R_{2} \in H . P .}\end{array}
