    Answer:

    The launch angle \theta=45^o.

    Explanation:

    We know,

    Horizontal distance travelled in projectile motion , R=\dfrac{u^2sin2\theta}{g}.

    Also, Maximum height ,H_{max}=\dfrac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}.

    Now, according to question maximum height is 1/4 of its horizontal range.

    H_{max}=\dfrac{1}{4}\times R

    \dfrac{u^2 sin^2\theta}{2g}=\dfrac{1}{4}\times \dfrac{u^2 sin\ 2\theta}{g}

    Simplifying above expression.

    We get , \theta=45^o

    Hence, this is the required solution.
