    e. 24 s

    Explanation:

    Time of flight of a projectile: This is the time taken for a projectile to return to the same plane at which it was projected. The time of flight of a projectile is expressed as,

    T = 2Usinθ/g ... Equation 1

    Where T = Time of flight, U = initial velocity, θ = angle of projection to the horizontal, g = acceleration due to gravity.

    Given: U = 200 m/s, θ = 37°, g = 9.81 m/s²

    Substitute into equation 1,

    T = 2 (200) (sin37°) / 9.81

    T = 400 (0.60) / 9.81

    T = 24.46

    T ≈ 24 s.

    The right option is e. 24 s
