Range and Complementary Angle Relationships

The question involves comparing or relating ranges, times of flight, or heights of two projectiles launched at complementary or different angles with the same initial speed, using standard range/time-of-flight formulas.

A boy playing on the roof of a 10 m high building throws a ball with a speed of $10 \mathrm{~m/s}$ at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. How far from the throwing point will the ball be at the height of 10 m from the ground?
$$\left[\mathrm{g} = 10 \mathrm{~m/s}^{2}, \sin 30^{\circ} = \frac{1}{2}, \cos 30^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right]$$
(1) 5.20 m
(2) 4.33 m
(3) 2.60 m

An object is projected in the air with initial velocity $u$ at an angle $\theta$. The projectile motion is such that the horizontal range $R$, is maximum. Another object is projected in the air with a horizontal range half of the range of first object. The initial velocity remains same in both the case. The value of the angle of projection, at which the second object is projected, will be $\_\_\_\_$ degree.
