Option (2)(2) is correct.

Explanation:

Range RR of a projectile is given by

R=(v_0^2sin2theta)/gR=v20sin2θg
For above, for a given angle and constant value of gg we conclude that:

=>Rpropv_0^2Rv20

Now, if velocity v^2v2 is double of v_0v0, then range R' becomes 4 times of range R, i.e;

R'=4R

Four times means 400%,

=>R'=400%R

Now, percentage change in range can be calculated as

Change=R'-R=400%R-100%R=300%R

implies percentage change is 300%.

Hecne, option (2) is correct.
