A billiard table whose length and width are as shown in the figure. $A$ ball is placed at point $A$. At what angle ‘$\theta $ ’the ball be projected so that after colliding with two walls, the ball will fall in the pocket $B$ .Assume that all collisions are perfectly elastic (neglect friction)

  • A

    $\theta = cot^{-1}\, \frac{{2a - c}}{{2b}}$

  • B

    $\theta = cot^{-1}$$\frac{{2a - c}}{{2b}}$

  • C

    $\theta = tan^{-1}$$\frac{{c - a}}{{2b}}$

  • D

    $\theta = cot^{-1}$$\frac{{c - a}}{b}$
