If      φ=tan^(−1) [((√2)−1)cot θ]+θ  ⇒ tan (φ−θ)=((√2)−1)cot θ     ((tan φ−tan θ)/(1+tan φtan θ))=((cot θ)/((√2)+1))  ⇒ ((√2)+1) (tan φ−tan θ)                             =cot θ+tan φ   (√2)tan φ=(√2)tan θ+(tan θ+cot θ)   tan φ=tan θ+(1/(√2))(tan θ+cot θ) .    (same as the answer i got ) .

Q.18271   i am getting a similar answer but  not the same.     Let  tan φ=p , tan θ=m  eqn. of trajectory: C    y=px−((gx^2 )/(2u^2 ))(1+p^2 )  equation of left incline: L_1         y=m(x+a)  equation of right incline: L_2         y=m(x−a)  Point P lies on L_1 and C and is a  double root, so  px_P −((gx_P ^2 )/(2u^2 ))(1+p^2 )=m(x_P +a)  ⇒ ((gx_P ^2 (1+p^2 ))/(2u^2 ))+(m−p)x_P +am=0  we have a double root at P , so    (m−p)^2 =4((g/(2u^2 )))(1+p^2 )(am)    or   (u^2 /(g(1+p^2 )))=((2am)/((m−p)^2 ))    .....(i)  At point Q, slope (dy/dx)∣_Q =((−1)/m)  as projectile hits plane at a right   angle, and from eqn. of parabola    (dy/dx)∣_Q =p−((gx_Q )/u^2 )(1+p^2 ) = ((−1)/m)  ...(ii)  from (ii):  ⇒ x_Q =(u^2 /(g(1+p^2 )))(p+(1/m))     ....(a)  and  ((gx_Q ^2 )/(2u^2 ))(1+p^2 )=(x_Q /2)(p+(1/m))  ...(b)  also m(x_Q −a)=px_Q −((gx_Q ^2 )/(2u^2 ))(1+p^2 )  using (b), this becomes  m(x_Q −a)=px_Q −(x_Q /2)(p+(1/m))  or  x_Q (m−p+(p/2)+(1/(2m)))=am        x_Q =((2am^2 )/(2m^2 −mp+1))  comparing with (a) we get  x_Q =((2am^2 )/(2m^2 −mp+1))=(u^2 /(g(1+p^2 )))(p+(1/m))  using (i) in R.H.S. we get  ((2am^2 )/(2m^2 −mp+1))=((2am)/((m−p)^2 ))(((1+mp)/m))  ⇒m^2 (m−p)^2 =(2m^2 −mp+1)(1+mp)  m^4 +m^2 p^2 −2pm^3 =2m^2 −mp+1                                +2pm^3 −m^2 p^2 +mp   2m^2 p^2 −4pm^3 +m^4 −2m^2 −1=0    ⇒p=((4m^3 +(√(16m^6 −8m^2 (m^4 −2m^2 −1))))/(4m^2 ))  p=m+(√((8m^6 +16m^4 +8m^2 )/(16m^4 )))   p=m+(√((m^2 /2)+1+(1/(2m^2 ))))   p=m+(1/(√2))(m+(1/m))  ⇒ tan φ=tan θ+(1/(√2))(tan θ+cot θ) .  ....
