  • Option 1)

    \frac{T}{}4

  • Option 2)

    \frac{T}{}2

  • Option 3)

    2T

  • Option 4)

Time of descent is time taken in moving downward

so As we know time taken to reach highest point from the ground(time of ascent) = time taken to come back to ground from highest point(time of descent) = T

0 = vsin(\theta)-gT

T = \frac{vsin(\theta)}{g}

velovity is reduced to half and angle is same implies that new time of descent will be  T/2
