A block of mass $m$ is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. A force making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal starts acting on the block. The magnitude of the force is constant but its direction with the horizontal changes as $\theta = a+ bs$, where $a$ and $b$ are constants and $s$ is the distance covered by the block. If $|F| = 2mb$, find the velocity of the block as function of the angle $\theta$ .
Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.

Assertion A :Two identical balls $A$ and $B$ thrown with same velocity '$u$ ' at two different angles with horizontal attained the same range $R$. If $A$ and $B$ reached the maximum height $h_{1}$ and $h_{2}$ respectively, then $R =4 \sqrt{ h _{1} h _{2}}$

Reason R: Product of said heights.

$h _{1} h _{2}=\left(\frac{u^{2} \sin ^{2} \theta}{2 g }\right) \cdot\left(\frac{u^{2} \cos ^{2} \theta}{2 g }\right)$
