The trajectory of a projectile in a vertical plane is $y =\alpha x -\beta x ^{2},$ where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants and $x \& y$ are respectively the horizontal and vertical distances of the projectile from the point of projection. The angle of projection $\theta$ and the maximum height attained $H$ are respectively given by :-
