$A$ ball is thrown from the ground at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal and with an initial speed $u_0$. For the resulting projectile motion,the magnitude of the average velocity of the ball up to the point when it hits the ground for the first time is $V_1$. After hitting the ground,the ball rebounds at the same angle $\theta$ but with a reduced speed of $u_0 / \alpha$. Its motion continues for a long time as shown in the figure. If the magnitude of the average velocity of the ball for the entire duration of motion is $0.8 V_1$,the value of $\alpha$ is:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $5$
