  • A

    They fly in three mutually perpendicular directions

  • B

    They fly in different directions, but $X$ flies opposite to $Y$

  • C

    They fly with same speed in different directions but $Y$ flies perpendicular to $Z$

  • D

    They fly with different speeds in different directions in a plane

A projectile of mass $M$ is fired so that the horizontal range is $4\, km$. At the highest point the projectile explodes in two parts of masses $M/4$ and $3M/4$ respectively and the heavier part starts falling down vertically with zero initial speed. The horizontal range (distance from point of firing) of the lighter part is .................. $\mathrm{km}$
